 is the modified zeroth-order Bessel function.

    The Kaiser was named for Jim Kaiser, who discovered a simple
    approximation to the DPSS window based on Bessel functions.  The Kaiser
    window is a very good approximation to the Digital Prolate Spheroidal
    Sequence, or Slepian window, which is the transform which maximizes the
    energy in the main lobe of the window relative to total energy.

    The Kaiser can approximate many other windows by varying the beta
    parameter.

    ====  =======================
    beta  Window shape
    ====  =======================
    0     Rectangular
    5     Similar to a Hamming
    6     Similar to a Hanning
    8.6   Similar to a Blackman
    ====  =======================

    A beta value of 14 is probably a good starting point. Note that as beta
    gets large, the window narrows, and so the number of samples needs to be
    large enough to sample the increasingly narrow spike, otherwise NaNs will
    get returned.

    Most references to the Kaiser window come from the signal processing
    literature, where it is used as one of many windowing functions for
    smoothing values.  It is also known as an apodization (which means
    "removing the foot", i.e. smoothing discontinuities at the beginning
    and end of the sampled signal) or tapering function.
