difference between mtmconvol and mtmfft

[Thomas Hartmann]

  hi,
from the descriptions of the two functions ft_freqanalysis_mtmconvol and
ft_freqanalysis_mtmfft i thought that those two functions should work
more or less equivalent - the first just doing it multiple times to get
a time-frequency representation.
to localize a significant cluster from my tf-representation, i
recalculated the fft (including the csd, of course) using the exact same
arguments for latency, window-size, frequency, padding, taper etc....
but the results do differ. not dramatically but considerably. does
anyone have an explanation for this?

thanks a lot in advance,
thomas
