Title: Quadratic-Inverse Estimatesof Autocorrelation
Author(s): David J. Thomson*+
Companies: Queen's University
Keywords: multitaper ; autocorrelation ; quadratic-inverse ; time-series ; likelihood
Abstract:

We reconsider the classical problem of estimating the autocorrelation sequence of a stationary time--series using quadratic--inverse spectrum estimates. This collapses the free--parameter expansion ambiguity of quadratic--inverse spectrum estimates and results in estimates of autocorrelations that have simultaneously low bias and variance.
