Robust Multitaper Tests for Detecting Frequency Modulated Signals

In this paper, we propose a new test for the detection of polynomial modulated signals, as well as an aggregated test based on the new test. The test statistics are developed under the multitaper spectral framework, and are designed to be robust to the choice of the multitaper order <i>K</i...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose a new test for the detection of polynomial modulated signals, as well as an aggregated test based on the new test. The test statistics are developed under the multitaper spectral framework, and are designed to be robust to the choice of the multitaper order <i>K</i>. The proposed tests are based on a modification of a previous test statistic developed by the authors, denoted by <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>F</mi><mn>4</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>. We review the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>F</mi><mn>4</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> test, and discuss some of its shortcomings, then propose our two tests. We illustrate performance via simulations, and apply our tests to SoHO GOLF optical solar time series.
