matplotlib.pyplot.cohere(x,y,*,NFFT=256,Fs=2,Fc=0,detrend=<functiondetrend_none>,window=<functionwindow_hanning>,noverlap=0,pad_to=None,sides='default',scale_by_freq=None,data=None,**kwargs)[source]#

Plot the coherence betweenx andy.

Coherence is the normalized cross spectral density:

\[C_{xy} = \frac{|P_{xy}|^2}{P_{xx}P_{yy}}\]

Parameters:

Fsfloat, default: 2

The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculatethe Fourier frequencies,freqs, in cycles per time unit.

windowcallable or ndarray, default:window_hanning

A function or a vector of lengthNFFT. To create window vectors seewindow_hanning,window_none,numpy.blackman,numpy.hamming,numpy.bartlett,scipy.signal,scipy.signal.get_window, etc. If afunction is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as anargument and return the windowed version of the segment.

sides{'default', 'onesided', 'twosided'}, optional

Which sides of the spectrum to return. 'default' is one-sided for realdata and two-sided for complex data. 'onesided' forces the return of aone-sided spectrum, while 'twosided' forces two-sided.

pad_toint, optional

The number of points to which the data segment is padded when performingthe FFT. This can be different fromNFFT, which specifies the numberof data points used. While not increasing the actual resolution of thespectrum (the minimum distance between resolvable peaks), this can givemore points in the plot, allowing for more detail. This corresponds tothen parameter in the call tofft. The default is None,which setspad_to equal toNFFT

NFFTint, default: 256

The number of data points used in each block for the FFT. A power 2 ismost efficient. This shouldNOT be used to get zero padding, or thescaling of the result will be incorrect; usepad_to for this instead.

detrend{'none', 'mean', 'linear'} or callable, default: 'none'

The function applied to each segment before fft-ing, designed to removethe mean or linear trend. Unlike in MATLAB, where thedetrend parameteris a vector, in Matplotlib it is a function. Themlabmodule definesdetrend_none,detrend_mean, anddetrend_linear,but you can use a custom function as well. You can also use a string tochoose one of the functions: 'none' callsdetrend_none. 'mean' callsdetrend_mean. 'linear' callsdetrend_linear.

scale_by_freqbool, default: True

Whether the resulting density values should be scaled by the scalingfrequency, which gives density in units of 1/Hz. This allows forintegration over the returned frequency values. The default is True forMATLAB compatibility.

noverlapint, default: 0 (no overlap)

The number of points of overlap between blocks.

Fcint, default: 0

The center frequency ofx, which offsets the x extents of theplot to reflect the frequency range used when a signal is acquiredand then filtered and downsampled to baseband.

Returns:

Cxy1-D array

The coherence vector.

freqs1-D array

The frequencies for the elements inCxy.

Other Parameters:

dataindexable object, optional

If given, the following parameters also accept a strings, which isinterpreted asdata[s] ifs is a key indata:
