Note 8D
The FRF spectrum was published by Miller and Vincent
with
5 f 4
as the argument in the exponential
4 f peak
function. However, this is algebraically wrong
because the frequency f peak is only the peak frequency
(the frequency where the spectral density attains its
f 4
maximum) when the exponent is
(as shown
f peak
in the book; see footnote 8 on p. 158).
