c_timecorrelate.pro

This function computes the "time cross correlation" Pxy(L) or the "time cross covariance" between 2 arrays (this is some kind of C_CORRELATE but for multidimensional arrays) as a function of the lag (L).

Routine summary

result = timecross_cov(xd, yd, m, nt, ndim, DOUBLE=DOUBLE, ZERO2NAN=ZERO2NAN)
result = c_timecorrelate(x, y, lag, COVARIANCE=COVARIANCE, DOUBLE=DOUBLE)

 

timecross_cov Statistics

Keywords

c_timecorrelate Statistics

result = c_timecorrelate(x, y, lag, COVARIANCE=COVARIANCE, DOUBLE=DOUBLE)

Parameters

x        in required type: array

An array which last dimension is the time dimension of size n, float or double.

y        in required type: array

An array which last dimension is the time dimension of size n, float or double.

lag        in required type: scalar or vector

A scalar or n-elements vector, in the interval [-(n-2),(n-2)], of type integer that specifies the absolute distance(s) between indexed elements of X.

Keywords

COVARIANCE       

If set to a non-zero value, the sample cross covariance is computed.

DOUBLE       

If set to a non-zero value, computations are done in double precision arithmetic.

Examples


 Define two n-elements sample populations.
   IDL> x = [3.73, 3.67, 3.77, 3.83, 4.67, 5.87, 6.70, 6.97, 6.40, 5.57]
   IDL> y = [2.31, 2.76, 3.02, 3.13, 3.72, 3.88, 3.97, 4.39, 4.34, 3.95]

 Compute the cross correlation of X and Y for LAG = -5, 0, 1, 5, 6, 7
   IDL> lag = [-5, 0, 1, 5, 6, 7]
   IDL> result = c_timecorrelate(x, y, lag)

 The result should be:
 [-0.428246, 0.914755, 0.674547, -0.405140, -0.403100, -0.339685]
