What is autocorrelation value?

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.

What is the difference between autocorrelation and autocovariance?

Autocorrelation is the cross-correlation of a signal with itself, and autocovariance is the cross-covariance of a signal with itself.

What does the autocorrelation function tell you?

The autocorrelation function is a statistical representation used to analyze the degree of similarity between a time series and a lagged version of itself. This function allows the analyst to compare the current value of a data set to its past value.

What is autocorrelation in probability?

The autocorrelation function provides a measure of similarity between two observations of the random process X(t) at different points in time t and s. The autocorrelation function of X(t) and X(s) is denoted by R_XX(t, s) and defined as follows: (10.2a) (10.2b)
