Well, if you have Gaussian white noise, the PDF is guassian (say) but
the periodogram is flat.

Well, if you have white noise the PDF is guassian (say) but the
periodogram is flat.

No. A histogram just counts the occurences of a value
(or interval of values) in a data set. There is no
information perserved about the sequence the values
occur in the data.

Well, the periodogram says something about where
in the spectrum you tend to find energy. In that
respect, it might be viewed as some sort of PDF.
I would be very careful about taking any such
analogies very literally, though. As always, such
analogies are only useful up to a certain point.
Past that point, they become counterproductive.

Are they the same? Also, I read that the Periodogram can be used be
used for Probability Mass Function (like PDF for discrete signals) but
this sounds a but dodgy.
