    Return the Hamming window.

    The Hamming window is a taper formed by using a weighted cosine.

    Parameters
    ----------
    M : int
        Number of points in the output window. If zero or less, an
        empty array is returned.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        The window, with the maximum value normalized to one (the value
        one appears only if the number of samples is odd).

    Notes
    -----
    The Hamming window is defined as

    .. math::  w(n) = 0.54 - 0.46\\cos\\left(\\frac{2\\pi{n}}{M-1}\\right)
               \\qquad 0 \\leq n \\leq M-1

    The Hamming was named for R. W. Hamming, an associate of J. W. Tukey
    and is described in Blackman and Tukey. It was recommended for
    smoothing the truncated autocovariance function in the time domain.
    Most references to the Hamming 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.
