Brief
Hello everyone this is Sri Guru Datta P.(pupperemeritus). I am extremely excited to get started with my GSoC journey. It has been a dream come true for me.
Most of the progress in these weeks has been done on the fronts of
- Re-adjusting the proposed schedule : Re-evaluating and taking a closer look at requirements
- Gathering more information required to implement : Been provided reference implementation in MATLAB by Dr. Jeff Scargle himself. And validating the plan and research done during the period of creating the project proposal.
- Had weekly meets to break the ice and communicate more directly through weekly meets with mentors.
Environment setup
I had already completed my environment setup earlier in order to make pull requests to stingray. I just followed the documentation.

Codebase familiarity
I already had a bit of familiarity with powerspectrum, crossspectrum and bexvar modules as I had worked on various pull requests on them. My mentor advised me to look into multitaper, which I did. It gave me a few ideas on how I could implement this project.
Coding
I had already started a few days early and went ahead and implemented the Lomb-Scargle Fourier Transform which will be the backbone of the power spectrum and cross spectrum. 2 days into the coding period and I also have started coding up the wrapper classes. It turns out to be a very tangled process in order to get every small nook and cranny of the class to work. But I have seemed to get the hang of it.
