Time Series Analysis of Data With Gaps
J. D. Scargle · 2010
All standard time series analysis functions can be computed for data of any type and with arbitrary sampling in time, by using the concept underlying the Edelson and Krolik algorithm for correlation functions. This time-domain approach has the advantage that the effect of the sampling is multiplicative and can therefore be readily corrected for, as illustrated here for a selected set of variable MAXI sources.
