appears to be an uncanny fit (orange) to 400 measured values (blue) using 16 sinusoidal frequencies! this time it's grant work, not contract work, so i will be able to explain this in more detail eventually... for now, it's just a work in progress that looks cool :)

Optical Spectrum Analyzer: An Invaluable Tool for Fiber Optic Communication Systems

An optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) is a device used to measure the power level of light in optical fibers as a function of wavelength. It is an essential tool for testing and troubleshooting fiber optic communication systems and components.

We thus decided to use the General Distance Measure to compute pairwise similarities between our 172 subjects, and obtained a matrix, which as math savy people know, is also the description of a network (an "adjacency matrix" for a "weighted undirected graph").
The problem was then to find cliques, communities or clusters of similar patients in such a network, and we used spectral clustering.
Spectral clustering is a family of techniques that use spectra of matrices describing networks, i.e. use eigenvalues of matrices to understand the structure of those networks.

@anja interesting read though people obviously don't know what white noise is. Given the story, they could say "ambient sounds" or something like that, but from my dive into this, these podcasts are mostly a combination of pink and red noise (e.g. ocean waves). White noise has no pattern, reddened noises are autocorrelated and have ups and downs.

White Noise Podcasters Are Costing Spotify $38 Million a Year

An internal document shows that white noise podcasts account for 3 million daily consumption hours on the platform
