Parametric Spectral Estimation

Burg, Yule-Walker, covariance, and modified covariance methods

Use parametric methods based on autoregressive models to estimate spectra.

Functions

`db`	Convert energy or power measurements to decibels
`db2mag`	Convert decibels to magnitude
`db2pow`	Convert decibels to power
`mag2db`	Convert magnitude to decibels
`pow2db`	Convert power to decibels
