Hello, If I use my own DFT function I can create an interpolatory least squares polynomial for a set of discrete data points. For example if my input data is the list: data = {0.7630, -0.1205, -0.0649, 0.6133, -0.2697, -0.7216, -0.0993, 0.9787, -0.5689, -0.1080, -0.3685, 0.0293}; and MyFourier[f_List] := Module[{tmp}, tmp = Table[ Exp[-2 Pi I n k/Length[f]], {n, -Length[f]/2 + 1, Length[f]/2, 1}, {k, -Length[f]/2 + 1, Length[f]/2, 1}]; tmp.f/Length[f]] Then fdata = Chop[MyFourier[data]] produces {0.06838\[InvisibleSpace] - 0.109318 \[ImaginaryI], -0.168383 + 0.0684882 \[ImaginaryI], -0.214283 - 0.0380917 \[ImaginaryI], -0.060625 + 0.119425 \[ImaginaryI], -0.0418217 - 0.0547732 \[ImaginaryI], 0.00524167, -0.0418217 + 0.0547732 \[ImaginaryI], -0.060625 - 0.119425 \[ImaginaryI], -0.214283 + 0.0380917 \[ImaginaryI], -0.168383 - 0.0684882 \[ImaginaryI], 0.06838\[InvisibleSpace] + 0.109318 \[ImaginaryI], 0.106625} I can then create the Fourier polynomial with Chop[ExpToTrig[ fdata.Table[ Exp[I 2Pi k x], {k, -Length[fdata]/2 + 1, Length[fdata]/2, 1}]]] How do I create the Fourier polynomial from the output of Mathematica's Fourier[] command with the default settings for the FourierParameters? Thanks, Bob Buchanan
