I am playing with sunspot data on a Sunday night, making
periodograms in various software packages (R, SAS, ITSM, and
Gretl). The Gretl periodogram is quite nice, with the period on
the upper x axis and the "scaled frequency" on the lower x axis.
None of the other packages present scaled frequency as a default
(I don't know if they offer it at all), and I have been unable
to nail down exactly what it is. Can anyone offer a simple
explanation of scaled frequency as it is used in Gretl, or even
better, a specific reference? Thanks.
W. Greene, Econometric Analysis, 4e, chapter 18, section 18.2.8.
I suppose there must be a counterpart in more recent editions;
I'll see if I can find a newer reference.
