stockwellDs

stockwellDs calculates an integrated Stockwell transform of a dataset. The result shows, for each channel, the instantaneous power as a function of time. This is similar to hilbertDs, but hilbertDs only works well in a narrow band, while stockwellDs can work with arbitrary bandwidths. rmspowerDs can also do this, but the result depends on a window parameter that may be difficult to choose.

There are several other ways of calculating the total power in a band, but we like the Stockwell transform, 'cause it's simple.

Download and Installation

Download stockwellDs. Linux x86 binary, version 5.0-linux-20051020. Make it executable with chmod +x stockwellDs and put it in your bin.

Usage

The new dataset will contain integrated power in the specified band for all channels. You can use the usual -marker and -time options, and then average the result with averageDs.
