    lombscargle(x, y, freqs)

    Computes the Lomb-Scargle periodogram.

    The Lomb-Scargle periodogram was developed by Lomb [1]_ and further
    extended by Scargle [2]_ to find, and test the significance of weak
    periodic signals with uneven temporal sampling.

    When *normalize* is False (default) the computed periodogram
    is unnormalized, it takes the value ``(A**2) * N/4`` for a harmonic
    signal with amplitude A for sufficiently large N.

    When *normalize* is True the computed periodogram is normalized by
    the residuals of the data around a constant reference model (at zero).

    Input arrays should be 1-D and will be cast to float64.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like
        Sample times.
    y : array_like
        Measurement values.
    freqs : array_like
        Angular frequencies for output periodogram.
    precenter : bool, optional
        Pre-center amplitudes by subtracting the mean.
    normalize : bool, optional
        Compute normalized periodogram.

    Returns
    -------
    pgram : array_like
        Lomb-Scargle periodogram.

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        If the input arrays `x` and `y` do not have the same shape.

    Notes
    -----
    This subroutine calculates the periodogram using a slightly
    modified algorithm due to Townsend [3]_ which allows the
    periodogram to be calculated using only a single pass through
    the input arrays for each frequency.

    The algorithm running time scales roughly as O(x * freqs) or O(N^2)
    for a large number of samples and frequencies.

    periodograms.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like
        Time series of measurement values
    fs : float, optional
        Sampling frequency of the `x` time series. Defaults to 1.0.
    window : str or tuple or array_like, optional

    nperseg : int, optional
        Length of each segment. Defaults to None, but if window is str or

        length of the window.
    noverlap : int, optional
        Number of points to overlap between segments. If `None`,
        ``noverlap = nperseg // 2``. Defaults to `None`.
    nfft : int, optional
        Length of the FFT used, if a zero padded FFT is desired. If
        `None`, the FFT length is `nperseg`. Defaults to `None`.
    detrend : str or function or `False`, optional
        Specifies how to detrend each segment. If `detrend` is a
        string, it is passed as the `type` argument to the `detrend`
        function. If it is a function, it takes a segment and returns a

    scaling : { 'density', 'spectrum' }, optional
        Selects between computing the power spectral density ('density')
        where `Pxx` has units of V**2/Hz and computing the power
        spectrum ('spectrum') where `Pxx` has units of V**2, if `x`

    average : { 'mean', 'median' }, optional
        Method to use when averaging periodograms. Defaults to 'mean'.

    Notes
    -----
    An appropriate amount of overlap will depend on the choice of window
    and on your requirements. For the default Hann window an overlap of
    50% is a reasonable trade off between accurately estimating the
    signal power, while not over counting any of the data. Narrower
    windows may require a larger overlap.

    If `noverlap` is 0, this method is equivalent to Bartlett's method
    [2]_.

    Compute a spectrogram with consecutive Fourier transforms.

    Spectrograms can be used as a way of visualizing the change of a
    nonstationary signal's frequency content over time.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like
        Time series of measurement values
    fs : float, optional
        Sampling frequency of the `x` time series. Defaults to 1.0.
    window : str or tuple or array_like, optional
        Desired window to use. If `window` is a string or tuple, it is
        passed to `get_window` to generate the window values, which are
        DFT-even by default. See `get_window` for a list of windows and
        required parameters. If `window` is array_like it will be used
        directly as the window and its length must be nperseg.
        Defaults to a Tukey window with shape parameter of 0.25.
    nperseg : int, optional
        Length of each segment. Defaults to None, but if window is str or
        tuple, is set to 256, and if window is array_like, is set to the
        length of the window.
    noverlap : int, optional
        Number of points to overlap between segments. If `None`,
        ``noverlap = nperseg // 8``. Defaults to `None`.
    nfft : int, optional
        Length of the FFT used, if a zero padded FFT is desired. If
        `None`, the FFT length is `nperseg`. Defaults to `None`.
    detrend : str or function or `False`, optional
        Specifies how to detrend each segment. If `detrend` is a
        string, it is passed as the `type` argument to the `detrend`
        function. If it is a function, it takes a segment and returns a
        detrended segment. If `detrend` is `False`, no detrending is
        done. Defaults to 'constant'.
    return_onesided : bool, optional
        If `True`, return a one-sided spectrum for real data. If
        `False` return a two-sided spectrum. Defaults to `True`, but for
        complex data, a two-sided spectrum is always returned.
    scaling : { 'density', 'spectrum' }, optional
        Selects between computing the power spectral density ('density')
        where `Sxx` has units of V**2/Hz and computing the power
        spectrum ('spectrum') where `Sxx` has units of V**2, if `x`
        is measured in V and `fs` is measured in Hz. Defaults to
        'density'.
    axis : int, optional
        Axis along which the spectrogram is computed; the default is over
        the last axis (i.e. ``axis=-1``).
    mode : str, optional
        Defines what kind of return values are expected. Options are
        ['psd', 'complex', 'magnitude', 'angle', 'phase']. 'complex' is
        equivalent to the output of `stft` with no padding or boundary
        extension. 'magnitude' returns the absolute magnitude of the
        STFT. 'angle' and 'phase' return the complex angle of the STFT,
        with and without unwrapping, respectively.

    Returns
    -------
    f : ndarray
        Array of sample frequencies.
    t : ndarray
        Array of segment times.
    Sxx : ndarray
        Spectrogram of x. By default, the last axis of Sxx corresponds
        to the segment times.

    See Also
    --------
    periodogram: Simple, optionally modified periodogram
    lombscargle: Lomb-Scargle periodogram for unevenly sampled data
    welch: Power spectral density by Welch's method.
    csd: Cross spectral density by Welch's method.

    Notes
    -----
    An appropriate amount of overlap will depend on the choice of window
    and on your requirements. In contrast to welch's method, where the
    entire data stream is averaged over, one may wish to use a smaller
    overlap (or perhaps none at all) when computing a spectrogram, to
    maintain some statistical independence between individual segments.
    It is for this reason that the default window is a Tukey window with
    1/8th of a window's length overlap at each end.

    Notes
    -----
    In order to enable inversion of an STFT via the inverse STFT in
    `istft`, it is sufficient that the signal windowing obeys the constraint of
    "Constant OverLap Add" (COLA). This ensures that every point in the input
    data is equally weighted, thereby avoiding aliasing and allowing full
    reconstruction.

    Some examples of windows that satisfy COLA:
        - Rectangular window at overlap of 0, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, ...
        - Bartlett window at overlap of 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, ...
        - Hann window at 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, ...
        - Any Blackman family window at 2/3 overlap
        - Any window with ``noverlap = nperseg-1``

    A very comprehensive list of other windows may be found in [2]_,
    wherein the COLA condition is satisfied when the "Amplitude
    Flatness" is unity.

    Notes
    -----
    In order to enable inversion of an STFT via the inverse STFT in
    `istft`, the signal windowing must obey the constraint of "nonzero
    overlap add" (NOLA):

    .. math:: \sum_{t}w^{2}[n-tH] \ne 0

    for all :math:`n`, where :math:`w` is the window function, :math:`t` is the
    frame index, and :math:`H` is the hop size (:math:`H` = `nperseg` -
    `noverlap`).

    This ensures that the normalization factors in the denominator of the
    overlap-add inversion equation are not zero. Only very pathological windows
    will fail the NOLA constraint.

    x : array_like
        Time series of measurement values
    fs : float, optional

        directly as the window and its length must be nperseg. Defaults

    nperseg : int, optional
        Length of each segment. Defaults to 256.
    noverlap : int, optional
        Number of points to overlap between segments. If `None`,
        ``noverlap = nperseg // 2``. Defaults to `None`. When
        specified, the COLA constraint must be met (see Notes below).
    nfft : int, optional
        Length of the FFT used, if a zero padded FFT is desired. If
        `None`, the FFT length is `nperseg`. Defaults to `None`.
    detrend : str or function or `False`, optional
        Specifies how to detrend each segment. If `detrend` is a
        string, it is passed as the `type` argument to the `detrend`
        function. If it is a function, it takes a segment and returns a
        detrended segment. If `detrend` is `False`, no detrending is
        done. Defaults to `False`.
    return_onesided : bool, optional
        If `True`, return a one-sided spectrum for real data. If
        `False` return a two-sided spectrum. Defaults to `True`, but for
        complex data, a two-sided spectrum is always returned.
    boundary : str or None, optional
        Specifies whether the input signal is extended at both ends, and
        how to generate the new values, in order to center the first
        windowed segment on the first input point. This has the benefit
        of enabling reconstruction of the first input point when the
        employed window function starts at zero. Valid options are
        ``['even', 'odd', 'constant', 'zeros', None]``. Defaults to
        'zeros', for zero padding extension. I.e. ``[1, 2, 3, 4]`` is
        extended to ``[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0]`` for ``nperseg=3``.
    padded : bool, optional
        Specifies whether the input signal is zero-padded at the end to
        make the signal fit exactly into an integer number of window
        segments, so that all of the signal is included in the output.
        Defaults to `True`. Padding occurs after boundary extension, if
        `boundary` is not `None`, and `padded` is `True`, as is the
        default.
    axis : int, optional
        Axis along which the STFT is computed; the default is over the
        last axis (i.e. ``axis=-1``).

    Returns
    -------
    f : ndarray
        Array of sample frequencies.
    t : ndarray
        Array of segment times.

    Notes
    -----
    In order to enable inversion of an STFT via the inverse STFT in
    `istft`, the signal windowing must obey the constraint of "Nonzero
    OverLap Add" (NOLA), and the input signal must have complete
    windowing coverage (i.e. ``(x.shape[axis] - nperseg) %
    (nperseg-noverlap) == 0``). The `padded` argument may be used to
    accomplish this.

    Given a time-domain signal :math:`x[n]`, a window :math:`w[n]`, and a hop
    size :math:`H` = `nperseg - noverlap`, the windowed frame at time index
    :math:`t` is given by

    .. math:: x_{t}[n]=x[n]w[n-tH]

    The overlap-add (OLA) reconstruction equation is given by

    .. math:: x[n]=\frac{\sum_{t}x_{t}[n]w[n-tH]}{\sum_{t}w^{2}[n-tH]}

    The NOLA constraint ensures that every normalization term that appears
    in the denomimator of the OLA reconstruction equation is nonzero. Whether a
    choice of `window`, `nperseg`, and `noverlap` satisfy this constraint can
    be tested with `check_NOLA`.

    r"""
    Perform the inverse Short Time Fourier transform (iSTFT).

    Parameters
    ----------
    Zxx : array_like
        STFT of the signal to be reconstructed. If a purely real array
        is passed, it will be cast to a complex data type.
    fs : float, optional
        Sampling frequency of the time series. Defaults to 1.0.
    window : str or tuple or array_like, optional
        Desired window to use. If `window` is a string or tuple, it is
        passed to `get_window` to generate the window values, which are
        DFT-even by default. See `get_window` for a list of windows and
        required parameters. If `window` is array_like it will be used
        directly as the window and its length must be nperseg. Defaults
        to a Hann window. Must match the window used to generate the
        STFT for faithful inversion.
    nperseg : int, optional
        Number of data points corresponding to each STFT segment. This
        parameter must be specified if the number of data points per
        segment is odd, or if the STFT was padded via ``nfft >
        nperseg``. If `None`, the value depends on the shape of
        `Zxx` and `input_onesided`. If `input_onesided` is `True`,
        ``nperseg=2*(Zxx.shape[freq_axis] - 1)``. Otherwise,
        ``nperseg=Zxx.shape[freq_axis]``. Defaults to `None`.
    noverlap : int, optional
        Number of points to overlap between segments. If `None`, half
        of the segment length. Defaults to `None`. When specified, the
        COLA constraint must be met (see Notes below), and should match
        the parameter used to generate the STFT. Defaults to `None`.
    nfft : int, optional
        Number of FFT points corresponding to each STFT segment. This
        parameter must be specified if the STFT was padded via ``nfft >
        nperseg``. If `None`, the default values are the same as for
        `nperseg`, detailed above, with one exception: if
        `input_onesided` is True and
        ``nperseg==2*Zxx.shape[freq_axis] - 1``, `nfft` also takes on
        that value. This case allows the proper inversion of an
        odd-length unpadded STFT using ``nfft=None``. Defaults to
        `None`.
    input_onesided : bool, optional
        If `True`, interpret the input array as one-sided FFTs, such
        as is returned by `stft` with ``return_onesided=True`` and
        `numpy.fft.rfft`. If `False`, interpret the input as a a
        two-sided FFT. Defaults to `True`.
    boundary : bool, optional
        Specifies whether the input signal was extended at its
        boundaries by supplying a non-`None` ``boundary`` argument to
        `stft`. Defaults to `True`.
    time_axis : int, optional
        Where the time segments of the STFT is located; the default is
        the last axis (i.e. ``axis=-1``).
    freq_axis : int, optional
        Where the frequency axis of the STFT is located; the default is
        the penultimate axis (i.e. ``axis=-2``).

    Returns
    -------
    t : ndarray
        Array of output data times.
    x : ndarray
        iSTFT of `Zxx`.

                is met
    check_NOLA: Check whether the Nonzero Overlap Add (NOLA) constraint is met

    Notes
    -----
    In order to enable inversion of an STFT via the inverse STFT with
    `istft`, the signal windowing must obey the constraint of "nonzero
    overlap add" (NOLA):

    .. math:: \sum_{t}w^{2}[n-tH] \ne 0

    This ensures that the normalization factors that appear in the denominator
    of the overlap-add reconstruction equation

    .. math:: x[n]=\frac{\sum_{t}x_{t}[n]w[n-tH]}{\sum_{t}w^{2}[n-tH]}

    are not zero. The NOLA constraint can be checked with the `check_NOLA`
    function.

    An STFT which has been modified (via masking or otherwise) is not
    guaranteed to correspond to a exactly realizible signal. This
    function implements the iSTFT via the least-squares estimation
    algorithm detailed in [2]_, which produces a signal that minimizes
    the mean squared error between the STFT of the returned signal and
    the modified STFT.

        length of the window.
    noverlap: int, optional
        Number of points to overlap between segments. If `None`,
        ``noverlap = nperseg // 2``. Defaults to `None`.
    nfft : int, optional
        Length of the FFT used, if a zero padded FFT is desired. If
        `None`, the FFT length is `nperseg`. Defaults to `None`.
    detrend : str or function or `False`, optional
        Specifies how to detrend each segment. If `detrend` is a
        string, it is passed as the `type` argument to the `detrend`
        function. If it is a function, it takes a segment and returns a
        detrended segment. If `detrend` is `False`, no detrending is
        done. Defaults to 'constant'.
    axis : int, optional
        Axis along which the coherence is computed for both inputs; the
        default is over the last axis (i.e. ``axis=-1``).

    Returns
    -------
    f : ndarray
        Array of sample frequencies.
    Cxy : ndarray
        Magnitude squared coherence of x and y.

    Notes
    --------
    An appropriate amount of overlap will depend on the choice of window
    and on your requirements. For the default Hann window an overlap of
    50% is a reasonable trade off between accurately estimating the
    signal power, while not over counting any of the data. Narrower
    windows may require a larger overlap.

        tuple, is set to 256, and if window is array_like, is set to the
        length of the window.
    noverlap : int, optional
        Number of points to overlap between segments. If `None`,
        ``noverlap = nperseg // 2``. Defaults to `None`.
    nfft : int, optional
        Length of the FFT used, if a zero padded FFT is desired. If
        `None`, the FFT length is `nperseg`. Defaults to `None`.
    detrend : str or function or `False`, optional
        Specifies how to detrend each segment. If `detrend` is a
        string, it is passed as the `type` argument to the `detrend`
        function. If it is a function, it takes a segment and returns a
        detrended segment. If `detrend` is `False`, no detrending is
        done. Defaults to 'constant'.
    return_onesided : bool, optional
        If `True`, return a one-sided spectrum for real data. If
        `False` return a two-sided spectrum. Defaults to `True`, but for
        complex data, a two-sided spectrum is always returned.
    scaling : { 'density', 'spectrum' }, optional
        Selects between computing the cross spectral density ('density')
        where `Pxy` has units of V**2/Hz and computing the cross
        spectrum ('spectrum') where `Pxy` has units of V**2, if `x`
        and `y` are measured in V and `fs` is measured in Hz.
        Defaults to 'density'
    axis : int, optional
        Axis along which the FFTs are computed; the default is over the
        last axis (i.e. ``axis=-1``).
    mode: str {'psd', 'stft'}, optional
        Defines what kind of return values are expected. Defaults to
        'psd'.
    boundary : str or None, optional
        Specifies whether the input signal is extended at both ends, and
        how to generate the new values, in order to center the first
        windowed segment on the first input point. This has the benefit
        of enabling reconstruction of the first input point when the
        employed window function starts at zero. Valid options are
        ``['even', 'odd', 'constant', 'zeros', None]``. Defaults to
        `None`.
    padded : bool, optional
        Specifies whether the input signal is zero-padded at the end to
        make the signal fit exactly into an integer number of window
        segments, so that all of the signal is included in the output.
        Defaults to `False`. Padding occurs after boundary extension, if
        `boundary` is not `None`, and `padded` is `True`.
    Returns
    -------
    freqs : ndarray
        Array of sample frequencies.
    t : ndarray
        Array of times corresponding to each data segment
    result : ndarray
        Array of output data, contents dependent on *mode* kwarg.
