Summary: We consider estimation of a spectral density at a particular frequency. A linear model is developed based on the local second order behaviour of kernel spectral estimates and a second stage estimate is derived from this model. The estimate is shown to be asymptotically more efficient than the kernel estimate with the optimal, but unknown, bandwidth whenever the smoothing parameter is chosen so that it oversmooths the kernel estimate. A small-sample simulation study shows good characteristics of the second stage estimate. Practical implementation is discussed through examples.
