Problems with frequency analysis...

Hi Carina,

I'm not a wavelet expert, but the cfg.width specification looks a bit
odd to me.
I would expect this to be an integer number, specifying the number of
oscillation-cycles at each frequency.

Irrespective of this, you might want to generate different surrogate
data in the first place:
the data segments are only 0.3 seconds long. This means that you can
only optimally fit
frequencies of multiples of 1/0.3, so 3.33333, 6.666667 etc. It only
makes sense to try to estimate low frequency
data, if the data segments are really long (and according to your
specification this would be at least 20 seconds).

Yours,

Jan-Mathijs
