ok, but doesn't the term "periodogram" only refer to the non-smoothed
raw estimate? I'm asking because even the smoothed values in the table
have that heading. And vice-versa, isn't the term "spectrum" a little
misleading as a graph title if it's the unsmoothed periodogram?
(I'm not 100% sure though what the most widespread conventions are in
the frequency domain.)
