Returns the auto-covariance for the given lag.
Namespace:
Meta.Numerics.Statistics
Assembly:
Meta.Numerics (in Meta.Numerics.dll) Version: 4.1.4
Syntax public UncertainValue Autocovariance(
int k
)
Public Function Autocovariance (
k As Integer
) As UncertainValue
public:
UncertainValue Autocovariance(
int k
)
member Autocovariance :
k : int -> UncertainValue
Parameters
- k
- Type: SystemInt32
The lag index, which must lie between 0 and n-1.
Return Value
Type:
UncertainValueThe best estimate, with uncertainty, of the lag-
k
auto-covariance of the population.
Remarks Note that, unlike the sample auto-covariance (Autocovariance),
and unlike the true population auto-covariance, the estimated population auto-covariance
is not guaranteed to be positive definite when expressed as a matrix Ci,j
= c[|i-j|].
