{\sc Cinderella} is a software solution for the quantitative comparison of time series in the frequency domain. It assigns probabilities to coincident peaks in the DFT amplidude spectra of the datasets under consideration. Two different…
Identifying frequencies with low signal-to-noise ratios in time series of stellar photometry and spectroscopy, and measuring their amplitude ratios and peak widths accurately, are critical goals for asteroseismology. These are also…
We consider the "multi-frequency" periodogram, in which the putative signal is modelled as a sum of two or more sinusoidal harmonics with idependent frequencies. It is useful in the cases when the data may contain several periodic…
{\sc Combine} is an add-on to {\sc SigSpec} and {\sc Cinderella}. A {\sc SigSpec} result file or a file generated by {\sc Cinderella} contains the significant sinusoidal signal components in a time series. In this file, {\sc Combine} checks…

We study the classical problem of recovering a multidimensional source signal from observations of nonlinear mixtures of this signal. We show that this recovery is possible (up to a permutation and monotone scaling of the source's original…
It is often necessary to compare the power spectra of two or more time series. One may, for instance, wish to estimate what the power spectrum of the combined data sets might have been. One might also wish to estimate the significance of a…
This technical note is on digital filters for the high-fidelity estimation of a sinusoidal signal's frequency in the presence of additive noise. The complex noise is assumed to be white (i.e. uncorrelated) however it need not be Gaussian.…
Selecting subsets of features that differentiate between two conditions is a key task in a broad range of scientific domains. In many applications, the features of interest form clusters with similar effects on the data at hand. To recover…
This is a review devoted to the complementarity-contextuality interplay with connection to the Bell inequalities. Starting discussion with complementarity, we point out to contextuality as its seed. {\it Bohr-contextuality} is dependence of…
