Proof of the equivalence of the Band-RMS evaluated in time and frequency
Ignoring normalization factors, we can define the squared Root Mean Square (RMS) of a discret-time signal $x[t+n], n=0,1,...$, at time $t$ as:
$$\mathrm{RMS}^2_t = \sum_{n=0} ^{N-1} |x[t+n]|^2$$

Is there a version of Welch's method that doesn't look for power?
Welch's method splits a time signal, $x(n)$ into $M$ periodograms $P_m$,
$P_{x_m,M }(k) = \frac{1}{M}|F_k(x_m)|^2$
and averages them to give the Power Spectral Density (PSD),
$S_{x}(k) = \frac{1}{K}...
