How do you calculate a correlation function in MATLAB?

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am trying to calculate the correlation function given by
where I sum over all i ("part" in the following). Do I just choose time zero arbitrarily as t1 like in the following? I am not sure how to do this. vbar is calculated separately and is just a constant here..
for t1 = 1:tmax
for t2 = t1:tmax
for part = 1:tot_part
a0(t2-t1,part) = a0(t2-t1,part) + (v(t1,part)+vbar)*(v(t2,part)+vbar)
n0(t1,part) = (v(t1,part)+vbar) + 1
end
end
end
for t = 0:tmax-1
for part = 1:tot_part
corr0(t) = corr0(t) + a0(t,part)/n0(t,part)
end
end

If you want to calculate "auto correlation", see xcorr.
You may need to devide the result by var.

Thanks, yes, it would nice though if it would be possible to understand this without resorting first things first to the xcorr function, which is why I had the clunky for loops in my post.

Totally understood. When I was in school, I didn't realize there had been this function for ages and crafted my own from scratch but good thing about MATLAB is that you can avoid "re-inventing wheels".
