 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.
