Abstract:
      The evolutionary power spectrum density (EPSD) of the non-stationary stochastic process is estimated via the Stockwell transform (S transform).The approach depends on the slowly varying pro-perty of the modulating function of the stochastic process, compared to the kernel of the S transform.This yields the phase-modified S transform of the process on a certain frequency can be viewed as a stochastic process with the EPSD given in terms of the EPSD of the original one.Further, an equation between the mean square value of the instantaneous S-transform and the EPSD of the process is derived.The solution of the equation is sought by representing the EPSD of the process as a sum of squared modulus of Gaussian shape functions of the S transform on the different frequency points, modulated by time-depended coefficients.Finally, the time-dependent coefficients can be determined by a linear algebra equation.Since the system matrix in the algebra equation only depends on the Gaussian shape function of the S transform, the algorithm shows high computational efficiency.Both the uniformly and non-uniformly modulated stochastic process is employed to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed approach.
