Autocorrelation & Cross-Correlation -> Main uses in DSP??

Autocorrelation, sometimes known as serial correlation in the discrete time case, is the correlation of a signal with a delayed copy of itself as a function of delay. Informally, it is the similarity between observations of a random variable as a function of the time lag between them.

What is difference between correlation and autocorrelation?

Autocorrelation, also known as serial correlation, refers to the degree of correlation of the same variables between two successive time intervals. The value of autocorrelation ranges from -1 to 1. A value between -1 and 0 represents negative autocorrelation. A value between 0 and 1 represents positive autocorrelation.

Why is autocorrelation a problem?

Autocorrelation can cause problems in conventional analyses (such as ordinary least squares regression) that assume independence of observations. In a regression analysis, autocorrelation of the regression residuals can also occur if the model is incorrectly specified.

What is the purpose of autocorrelation?

The autocorrelation ( Box and Jenkins, 1976) function can be used for the following two purposes: To detect non-randomness in data. To identify an appropriate time series model if the data are not random.

Is autocorrelation good or bad in time series?

Autocorrelation is also known as serial correlation, time series correlation and lagged correlation. Regardless of how it's being used, autocorrelation is an ideal method for uncovering trends and patterns in time series data that would have otherwise gone undiscovered.
