Batch processing of individual Fourier distributions

[Jorge-LF]

Hi,

I would like to suggest a potential implementation.
Right now we can extract the data (CSV file) of the Fourier distribution of a specific signal by Analyze Signal > Estimate Fourier > Save results. This is very convenient for extracting the period with the higher power across the whole time series.
I would like to be able to do this in batch.
In the Analyze All tab I can only export the global fourier estimate which averages the fourier distributions of all the data. Most times I want to obtain a single CSV file with the Fourier distribution for each timeseries data (similar to what happens when batch processing the ridge readouts).

I would be very grateful if something like this could be implemented so I don't have to save the single Fourier distributions one by one.

Thanks a lot for maintaining this amazing tool updated!

Hey @Jorge-LF,

yes that's a good idea.. originally I thought the individual Fourier estimates are not that valuable, as in principle they're just a fancy (time averaging Wavelet spectra) way to obtain a (pretty smoothed) FFT result. But adding this to the batch outputs should be no big deal! You want to open an issue yourself about it, 1 sentence and maybe a link to this thread would be enough 🙂

EDIT: Oh I see the github web UI now allows to transform this into an issue with 1 click, ok I'll do it

Hey @Jorge-LF the feature got implemented with the just released pyBOAT 0.9.12:

It's already on pip, conda version should follow in a few hours.. lemme know when you had time to check it out if it does what it's supposed to do!

Thank you for the update.
Works great and it is exactly what I needed for my analysis of large number of individual signals.
