Dynamic methods in the spectral domain are necessary to analyse biological signals because of the frequently nonstationary character of the signals. The paper presents an adaptive procedure of fitting time-dependent ARMA models to nonstationary signals, which is suitable for on-line calculations. The properties of the model parameter estimations are examined, and in the stationary case are compared with the results of convergent estimation methods. On this basis time-varying spectral parameters with high temporal and spectral resolution are calculated, and the possibility of their application is shown in EEG analysis and laser-Doppler-flowmetry.
