If z is a data series, a 1024 record list, will the following code
correctly produce a power spectrum and the least squares fit slope to
the log transformed power spectrum versus the log of the sequence? 
Thanks for any suggestions.  


ftofz1 = Abs[Fourier[z]];

ftofz1 = Take[%, 512];

ftzsq = %^2;

lnftzsq = Log[%];

Fit[lnftzsq, {1, x}, Log[x]]
