Intro to Time Series
The Hamming window is a mathematical function used in signal processing to smooth the edges of a signal before performing spectral analysis, effectively reducing spectral leakage. By applying the Hamming window, it helps to create a more accurate representation of a signal's frequency content by minimizing discontinuities at the boundaries of the data segment. This technique is essential for enhancing the quality of the Fourier transform and other spectral analysis methods.
