The Nyquist frequency for irregularly spaced time-series: a calculation formula
(Oxford University Press, 2006)
Eyer & Bartholdi showed that the Nyquist frequency of irregularly sampled time-series can
be very high. In this paper, a calculation formula for the Nyquist frequency is presented. In
practice there is an upper limit of ...
