Abstract

This chapter represents the logical continuation of Chap. 5. Assuming that any set of reproducible/repeatable measurements can be considered as a quasi-periodic process, it is possible to derive the fitting function that strives to describe every experiment in which measurements of the same variable or quantity can be repeated many times. Here, it is essential to note that the conventional Fourier transform (F-transform) corresponds to an “ideal” experiment, in which all measurements taken during a long time are identical to each other. This chapter, instead, is focused on and gives answers for the case of non-stationary measurements, showing that any set of measurements contains two fitting functions: (a) the first one associated with the simple model with the minimal number of fitting parameters and (b) the second one following from the quasi-periodic process generated by repeated measurements. As in the rest of the book, this chapter contains some convincing arguments based on the analysis of real, available data. Nontrivial examples show how to apply the newly introduced idea on data that a reader may use in a laboratory. The final section contains an analysis of the results and further perspectives. A reading of this chapter even independently of the covered topics and examples could be useful and instructive.
