On frequency weighting in autoregressive spectral estimation

• This paper treats the problem of approximating a complex stochastic process in a given frequency region by an estimated autoregressive (AR) model. Two frequency domain approaches are discussed: a weighted frequency domain maximum likelihood method and a prefiltered covariance extension method based on the theory of Lindquist and co-workers. It is shown that these two approaches are very closely related and can both be formulated as convex optimization problems. An examples illustrating the methods and the effect of prefiltering/weighting is provided. The results show that these methods are capable of tuning the AR model fit to a specified frequency region.
