This package processes time analysis (oscillograms and envelopes), spectral content, resonance quality factor, entropy, cross correlation and autocorrelation, zero-crossing, dominant frequency, analytic signal, frequency coherence, 2D and 3D spectrograms and many other analyses. See Sueur et al. (2008) doi:10.1080/09524622.2008.9753600 and Sueur (2018) doi:10.1007/978-3-319-77647-7.
