Vector.AutoCorrNormal Method

TVec AutoCorrNormal(TVec Vec, Int32 Lags)

Normal auto-corellation.

#NameTypeDescription
1VecTVecsource TVec
2LagsInt32

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

Calculates the normal auto-correlation of the vector Vec. The result of Length = Lags is stored in the calling vector (V). The Lags parameter must be equal or smaller than the calling vector (V) length. The normal auto-correlation is defined by the following equation:

V[k]=k=0Length1Vec[k]Vec[k+n],where 0kLagsVec[k]={Vec[k]0kLength0otherwise\begin{aligned} \text{V}[k] &= \sum _{k=0} ^{\text{Length}-1} \text{Vec}[k] \cdot \text{Vec}[k+n] ,\quad \text{where } 0 \leq k \leq \text{Lags} \\ \text{Vec}[k] &= \begin{cases} \text{Vec}[k] & 0\leq k \leq \text{Length} \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \end{aligned}
Examples
Vector a;
Vector b;
a.SetIt(false,new double[] {1,2,3,4});
b.AutoCorrNormal(a,2);
