Oct 7, 2014 at 18:40 comment added alancalvitti @belisarius, sooner or later there might be. Maybe fractal in frequency plane like mathworld.wolfram.com/DevilsStaircase.html

Oct 6, 2014 at 17:33 comment added Dr. belisarius @alancalvitti And then there is the devil-z transform
Oct 6, 2014 at 17:28 comment added Igor Rivin @alancalvitti No doubt, but not in Mathematica :( I am perfectly happy to find/prduce implementations (and again, your suggestions are very welcome), but since WRI is making a very big deal of its data handling capabilities, one might hope that there are tools already available. Of course, one might be wrong...
Oct 6, 2014 at 17:25 comment added alancalvitti @IgorRivin, at least some special types of generalization of Fourier analysis like chirp-z transforms (off the unit disc) can be made fast like FFT.
Oct 6, 2014 at 17:14 comment added Igor Rivin @Sektor thanks! Looking forward to words of wisdom!
Oct 6, 2014 at 17:03 comment added Sektor @IgorRivin Thanks Igor ! Already downloaded it and will try a few things on the data :)
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:54 comment added Igor Rivin @alancalvitti Thanks! That is very cool (though the concerns I expressed before [implementing this is work, and in Mathematica at least will probably be quite slow, when a lot of data is involved] still stand, alas).
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:50 comment added alancalvitti There are generalizations of frequency methods for un-even data eg, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_discrete_Fourier_transform
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:39 comment added Igor Rivin @Sektor here you go (warning, large): dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5188175/valnorms.m
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:37 comment added Dr. belisarius @IgorRivin Much better with an example, yes
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:36 comment added Igor Rivin @Sektor Sure, watch this space for the Dropbox link.
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:35 comment added Sektor @IgorRivin Can you supply a sample data set or should I experiment on one of my own ?
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:24 comment added Igor Rivin ... is not clearly the right thing. In any case, there is the actual mathematical/scientific problem, and then there is the functionality provided by mathematica, which seems to not be quite what is needed (of course, I can write my own Gauss convolver, or whatever, but this will be actual work and run slowly, too boot :()
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:23 comment added Igor Rivin @Belisarius Of course. In my case I am doing a computational experiment where I am computing spectral invariants of random (in a certain sense) matrices (so, I have a list of pairs of the form (eigenvalue, some_function_of_eigenvector) of my matrices, which, to make things more annoying, are not precisely the same size. If I do the experiment 1000 times, and compute the mean of my function, and plot it vs the ordinal number of eigenvector, all is well, and the curve is smooth. If I want to plot it against the corresponding eigenvalue, lots of noise. Moving average does sort of work, but...
Oct 6, 2014 at 16:17 comment added Dr. belisarius But you need some assumption about the underlying relation and the noise. Otherwise your perceived "noise" could be your signal.
