corr

correlation, covariance

Calling Sequence

[cov,Mean]=corr(x,[y],nlags)
[cov,Mean]=corr('fft',xmacro,[ymacro],n,sect)

[w,xu]=corr('updt',x1,[y1],w0)
[w,xu]=corr('updt',x2,[y2],w,xu)
...
[wk]=corr('updt',xk,[yk],w,xu)

Arguments

x

a real vector

y

a real vector, default value x.

nlags

integer, number of correlation coefficients desired.

xmacro

a scilab external (see below).

ymacro

a scilab external (see below), default value xmacro

n

an integer, total size of the sequence (see below).

sect

size of sections of the sequence (see below).

xi

a real vector

yi

a real vector,default value xi.

cov

real vector, the correlation coefficients

Mean

real number or vector, the mean of x and if given y

Description

Computes

n - m 
====
\                                       1
cov(m) =  >   (x(k) - xmean) (y(m+k) - ymean) * ---
/                                       n
====
k = 1

for m=0,..,nlag-1 and two vectors x=[x(1),..,x(n)] y=[y(1),..,y(n)]

Note that if x and y sequences are differents corr(x,y,...) is different with corr(y,x,...)

Short sequences

[cov,Mean]=corr(x,[y],nlags) returns the first nlags correlation coefficients and Mean = mean(x) (mean of [x,y] if y is an argument). The sequence x (resp. y) is assumed real, and x and y are of same dimension n.

Long sequences

[cov,Mean]=corr('fft',xmacro,[ymacro],n,sect) Here xmacro is either

  • a function of type [xx]=xmacro(sect,istart) which returns a vector xx of dimension nsect containing the part of the sequence with indices from istart to istart+sect-1.

  • a fortran subroutine or C procedure which performs the same calculation. (See the source code of dgetx for an example). n = total size of the sequence. sect = size of sections of the sequence. sect must be a power of 2. cov has dimension sect. Calculation is performed by FFT.

Updating method
[w,xu]=corr('updt',x1,[y1],w0)
[w,xu]=corr('updt',x2,[y2],w,xu)
 ...
wk=corr('updt',xk,[yk],w,xu)

With this calling sequence the calculation is updated at each call to corr.

w0 = 0*ones(1,2*nlags);
nlags = power of 2.

x1,x2,... are parts of x such that x=[x1,x2,...] and sizes of xi a power of 2. To get nlags coefficients a final fft must be performed c=fft(w,1)/n; cov=c(1nlags) (n is the size of x (y)). Caution: this calling sequence assumes that xmean = ymean = 0.
