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 .
