    Notes
    -----
    The necessary metadata to reconstruct timing information are recorded
    in the `epoch` and `sample_rate` attributes. This time-stamps can be
    returned via the :attr:`~TimeSeries.times` property.

    All comparison operations performed on a `TimeSeries` will return a

    with metadata copied from the starting `TimeSeries`.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from gwpy.timeseries import TimeSeries

    To create an array of random numbers, sampled at 100 Hz, in units of
    'metres':

    >>> from numpy import random
    >>> series = TimeSeries(random.random(1000), sample_rate=100, unit='m')

        Raises
        ------
        ValueError
            if ``filt`` arguments cannot be interpreted properly

        Examples
        --------
        We can design an arbitrarily complicated filter using
        :mod:`gwpy.signal.filter_design`

        >>> from gwpy.signal import filter_design
        >>> bp = filter_design.bandpass(50, 250, 4096.)
        >>> notches = [filter_design.notch(f, 4096.) for f in (60, 120, 180)]
        >>> zpk = filter_design.concatenate_zpks(bp, *notches)

        And then can download some data from GWOSC to apply it using
        `TimeSeries.filter`:

        >>> from gwpy.timeseries import TimeSeries
        >>> data = TimeSeries.fetch_open_data('H1', 1126259446, 1126259478)
        >>> filtered = data.filter(zpk, filtfilt=True)

        We can plot the original signal, and the filtered version, cutting
        off either end of the filtered data to remove filter-edge artefacts

        >>> from gwpy.plot import Plot
        >>> plot = Plot(data, filtered[128:-128], separate=True)
        >>> plot.show()

        If `tpad` is nonzero, the Planck-taper window is used to smoothly
        ramp data down to zero over a timescale `tpad` approaching every
        segment boundary in `deadtime`. However, this does not apply to
        the left or right bounds of the original `TimeSeries`.

        The `deadtime` segment list will always be coalesced and restricted to
        the limits of `self.span`. In particular, when querying a data-quality
        flag, this means the `start` and `end` arguments to
        `~gwpy.segments.DataQualityFlag.query` will effectively be reset and
        therefore need not be given.

        If `flag` is interpreted positively, i.e. if `flag` being active
        corresponds to a "good" state, then its complement in `self.span`
        will be used to define the deadtime for masking.

        Demodulation is useful when trying to examine steady sinusoidal
        signals we know to be contained within data. For instance,
        we can download some data from GWOSC to look at trends of the
        amplitude and phase of LIGO Livingston's calibration line at 331.3 Hz:

        >>> from gwpy.timeseries import TimeSeries
        >>> data = TimeSeries.fetch_open_data('L1', 1131350417, 1131357617)

        We can demodulate the `TimeSeries` at 331.3 Hz with a stride of one
        minute:

        >>> amp, phase = data.demodulate(331.3, stride=60)

        We can then plot these trends to visualize fluctuations in the
        amplitude of the calibration line:

        >>> from gwpy.plot import Plot
        >>> plot = Plot(amp)
        >>> ax = plot.gca()
        >>> ax.set_ylabel('Strain Amplitude at 331.3 Hz')

        Parameters
        ----------
        phase : `array_like`
            an array of phase measurements (radians) with which to heterodyne
            the signal

        stride : `float`, optional
            stride (seconds) between calculations, defaults to 1 second

        singlesided : `bool`, optional
            Boolean switch to return single-sided output (i.e., to multiply by
            2 so that the signal is distributed across positive frequencies
            only), default: False

        Returns
        -------
        out : `TimeSeries`
            magnitude and phase trends, represented as
            `mag * exp(1j*phase)` with `dt=stride`

        Notes
        -----
        This is similar to the :meth:`~gwpy.timeseries.TimeSeries.demodulate`
        method, but is more general in that it accepts a varying phase
        evolution, rather than a fixed frequency.

        Unlike :meth:`~gwpy.timeseries.TimeSeries.demodulate`, the complex
        output is double-sided by default, so is not multiplied by 2.

        Examples
        --------
        Heterodyning can be useful in analysing quasi-monochromatic signals
        with a known phase evolution, such as continuous-wave signals
        from rapidly rotating neutron stars. These sources radiate at a
        frequency that slowly decreases over time, and is Doppler modulated
        due to the Earth's rotational and orbital motion.

        To see an example of heterodyning in action, we can simulate a signal
        whose phase evolution is described by the frequency and its first
        derivative with respect to time. We can download some O1 era
        LIGO-Livingston data from GWOSC, inject the simulated signal, and
        recover its amplitude.

        >>> from gwpy.timeseries import TimeSeries
        >>> data = TimeSeries.fetch_open_data('L1', 1131350417, 1131354017)

        We now need to set the signal parameters, generate the expected
        phase evolution, and create the signal:

        >>> import numpy
        >>> f0 = 123.456789  # signal frequency (Hz)
        >>> fdot = -9.87654321e-7  # signal frequency derivative (Hz/s)
        >>> fepoch = 1131350417  # phase epoch
        >>> amp = 1.5e-22  # signal amplitude
        >>> phase0 = 0.4  # signal phase at the phase epoch
        >>> times = data.times.value - fepoch
        >>> phase = 2 * numpy.pi * (f0 * times + 0.5 * fdot * times**2)
        >>> signal = TimeSeries(amp * numpy.cos(phase + phase0),
        >>>                     sample_rate=data.sample_rate, t0=data.t0)
        >>> data = data.inject(signal)

        To recover the signal, we can bandpass the injected data around the
        signal frequency, then heterodyne using our phase model with a stride
        of 60 seconds:

        >>> filtdata = data.bandpass(f0 - 0.5, f0 + 0.5)
        >>> het = filtdata.heterodyne(phase, stride=60, singlesided=True)

        We can then plot signal amplitude over time (cropping the first two
        minutes to remove the filter response):

        >>> plot = het.crop(het.x0.value + 180).abs().plot()
        >>> ax = plot.gca()
        >>> ax.set_ylabel("Strain amplitude")
        >>> plot.show()

        >>> tapered = series.taper()

        We can plot it to see how the ends now vary smoothly from 0 to 1:

        >>> plot = Plot(series, tapered, separate=True, sharex=True)

        the matched-filter, which should be windowed before passing to this
        method.

        Due to filter settle-in, a segment half the length of `mfilter` will be
        corrupted at the beginning and end of the output. See
        `~TimeSeries.convolve` for more details.

        The input and matched-filter will be detrended, and the output will be
        normalised so that the SNR measures number of standard deviations from
        the expected mean.

        highpass : `float`, optional

        Returns

        Notes
        -----
        This method will return a `Spectrogram` of dtype ``float32`` if
        ``norm`` is given, and ``float64`` otherwise.

        To optimize plot rendering with `~matplotlib.axes.Axes.pcolormesh`,
        the output `~gwpy.spectrogram.Spectrogram` can be given a log-sampled
        frequency axis by passing `logf=True` at runtime. The `fres` argument
        is then the number of points on the frequency axis. Note, this is
        incompatible with `~matplotlib.axes.Axes.imshow`.

        It is also highly recommended to use the `outseg` keyword argument
        when only a small window around a given GPS time is of interest. This
        will speed up this method a little, but can greatly speed up
        rendering the resulting `Spectrogram` using `pcolormesh`.

        If you aren't going to use `pcolormesh` in the end, don't worry.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> from numpy.random import normal
        >>> from scipy.signal import gausspulse
        >>> from gwpy.timeseries import TimeSeries

        Generate a `TimeSeries` containing Gaussian noise sampled at 4096 Hz,
        centred on GPS time 0, with a sine-Gaussian pulse ('glitch') at
        500 Hz:

        >>> noise = TimeSeries(normal(loc=1, size=4096*4), sample_rate=4096, epoch=-2)
        >>> glitch = TimeSeries(gausspulse(noise.times.value, fc=500) * 4, sample_rate=4096)
        >>> data = noise + glitch

        Compute and plot the Q-transform of these data:

        >>> q = data.q_transform()
        >>> plot = q.plot()
        >>> ax = plot.gca()
