Correlation



Definition: The correlation operator for two signals $x$ and $y$ in ${\is defined as

\

We may interpret the correlation operator as

\

which is the coefficient of projection onto $x$ of $y$ advanced by$n$ samples (shifted circularly to the left by $n$ samples). The time shift $n$ is called the correlation lag, and $\ is called a lagged product. Applications of correlation are discussed in §8.8.
