What is auto correlation and cross-correlation?
Cross correlation and autocorrelation are very similar, but they involve different types of correlation: Cross correlation happens when two different sequences are correlated. Autocorrelation is the correlation between two of the same sequences. In other words, you correlate a signal with itself.
How do you calculate cross-correlation and autocorrelation?
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 meant by cross-correlation?
Cross-correlation is used to evaluate the similarity between the spectra of two different systems, for example, a sample spectrum and a reference spectrum. This technique can be used for samples where background fluctuations exceed the spectral differences caused by changes in composition.
Is cross-correlation the same as correlation?
Cross-correlation, or simply correlation, is a statistical measure used to describe the relationship between two data sets.
