Compute the autocorrelation or cross-correlation function.


Usage
corrfun(xvector {, n {, scale}}) ... autocorrelation of x
corrfun(xvector, yvector {, n {, scale}}) ... cross correlation of x and y
x, y
data vectors
n
the number of lags; 0 < n < ncol(x) (default=ncol(x)/2)
scale
specifies the scaling of the function:
scale=0 ... no scaling (default) scale=1 ... "biased", each lag i is scaled by the length of x (1/ncol(x)) scale=2 ... "unbiased", each lag i is scaled by the number of correlated elements (1/(ncol(x)-1))
Result 1
The correlecation coefficient r (product-moment correlation) of the vectors x and y.
r = var(x, y) / sqrt( var(x) * var(y) )

Usage 1
var(xvector, yvector)
Result 1
The correlecation coefficient r (product-moment correlation) of the vectors x and y.
r = var(x, y) / sqrt( var(x) * var(y) )

Usage 2
var(xmatrix)
var(xmatrix, yscalar)
var(xmatrix, yvector)
Result 2
The correlation matrix r of the column vectors of x.
r[i,j] = var(x[*,i], x[*,j]) / sqrt( var(x[*,i]) * var(x[*,j]) ) , with: i,j = 0..ncol(x)-1
If the argument y is supplied, it is used as column average like for the computation of the covariance matrix.

<function list>


corrfun
corrfun(x, lags, scale)
lags the number of coefficients def.=nrow(x)/2
scale the scaling def.=0
0=no scaling
1=scaling with "1 / nrow(x)",
2=scaling with "1 / (nrow(x) - lag)"

The result is a vector with lags elements.

corrfun(x, y, lags, scale) Calculate the coefficients 0..lags-1 of the cross-correlation function of the vectors x and y. The parameters are the same as for the auto-correlation function.
