## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{d}, @var{dd}] =} diffpara (@var{x}, @var{a}, @var{b})
## Return the estimator @var{d} for the differencing parameter of an
## integrated time series.
##
## The frequencies from @math{[2*pi*a/t, 2*pi*b/T]} are used for the
## estimation.  If @var{b} is omitted, the interval
## @math{[2*pi/T, 2*pi*a/T]} is used.  If both @var{b} and @var{a} are omitted
## then @math{a = 0.5 * sqrt (T)} and @math{b = 1.5 * sqrt (T)} is used, where
## @math{T} is the sample size.  If @var{x} is a matrix, the differencing
## parameter of each column is estimated.
##
## The estimators for all frequencies in the intervals described above is
## returned in @var{dd}.
##
## The value of @var{d} is simply the mean of @var{dd}.
