How do you cross correlate two signals?
To detect a level of correlation between two signals we use cross-correlation. It is calculated simply by multiplying and summing two-time series together. In the following example, graphs A and B are cross-correlated but graph C is not correlated to either.
What is autocorrelation of a signal?
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.
How many types of autocorrelation are there?
Similar to correlation, autocorrelation can be either positive or negative. It ranges from -1 (perfectly negative autocorrelation) to 1 (perfectly positive autocorrelation).
How do you calculate autocorrelation?
The number of autocorrelations calculated is equal to the effective length of the time series divided by 2, where the effective length of a time series is the number of data points in the series without the pre-data gaps.
