+ − <h2>Description</h2>
+ − <p>
+ − The LTPDA method <a href="matlab:doc('ao/ltfe')">ao/ltfe</a> estimates the transfer function of time-series
+ − signals, included in the input <tt>ao</tt>s following the LPSD algorithm <a href="#references">[1]</a>. Spectral density estimates are not
+ − evaluated at frequencies which are linear multiples of the minimum frequency resolution <tt>1/T</tt>, where <tt>T</tt>
+ − is the window lenght, but on a logarithmic scale. The algorithm takes care of calculating the frequencies at which to evaluate
+ − the spectral estimate, aiming at minimizing the uncertainty in the estimate itself, and to recalculate a suitable
+ − window length for each frequency bin.
+ − </p>
+ − <p>
+ − Data are windowed prior to the estimation of the spectrum, by multiplying
+ − it with a <a href="specwin.html">spectral window object</a>, and can be detrended by polinomial of time in order to reduce the impact
+ − of the border discontinuities. Detrending is performed on each individual window.
+ − The user can choose the quantity being given in output among ASD (amplitude spectral density),
+ − PSD (power spectral density), AS (amplitude spectrum), and PS (power spectrum).

+ − <p>The parameter list <tt>pl</tt> includes the following parameters:</p>
+ − <ul>
+ − <li> <tt>'Kdes'</tt> - desired number of averages [default: 100]</li>
+ − <li> <tt>'Jdes'</tt> - number of spectral frequencies to compute [default: 1000]</li>
+ − <li> <tt>'Lmin'</tt> - minimum segment length [default: 0]</li>
+ − <li> <tt>'Win'</tt> - the window to be applied to the data to remove the
+ − discontinuities at edges of segments. [default: taken from user prefs].<br>
+ − The window is described by a string with its name and, only in the case of Kaiser window,
+ − the additional parameter <tt>'psll'</tt>. <br>For instance: plist('Win', 'Kaiser', 'psll', 200). </li>
+ − <li> <tt>'Olap'</tt> - segment percent overlap [default: -1, (taken from window function)] </li>
+ − <li> <tt>'Order'</tt> - order of segment detrending <ul>
+ − <li> -1 - no detrending </li>
+ − <li> 0 - subtract mean [default] </li>
+ − <li> 1 - subtract linear fit </li>
+ − <li> N - subtract fit of polynomial, order N </li> </ul> </li>
+ − </ul>
+ − The length of the window is set by the value of the parameter <tt>'Nfft'</tt>, so that the window
+ − is actually rebuilt using only the key features of the window, i.e. the name and, for Kaiser windows, the PSLL.

+ − amplitude, superimposed to white noise.
