...[150] Significance levels for harmonic or narrowband spectral features relative to the estimated noise background can be determined from the appropriate quantiles of the chi-square distribution, by assuming that the spectrum is distributed with 2K degrees of freedom [Mann and Lees, 1996]....

...Although it would be possible to identify and subtract harmonic signal components prior to estimating t (see Mann and Lees, 1996 for evenly spaced time series), this approach may fail if there are quasi-periodic signals (e.g. narrow-band noise), which often occur in climatic time series....

...The unknown value of t is estimated from an unevenly spaced time series using the least-squares algorithm devised by Mudelsee (2002). The spectrum of an irregularly spaced time series is determined without the need for interpolation by means of the Lomb–Scargle Fourier transform (Lomb, 1976; Scargle, 1982, 1989)....
