The spectral analysis of time series / Lambert H. Koopmans.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

To tailor time series models to a particular physical problem and to follow the working of various techniques for processing and analyzing data, one must understand the basic theory of frequency domain (spectral) analysis of time series. This book provides an introduction to the techniques and theories of spectral analysis of time series. With minimal dependence on mathematics, the book presents the geometric structure of spectral analysis. This approach makes possible useful, intuitive interpretations of important time series parameters and provides a unified framework of results.
