NAME

       gbacorr - Compute auto/cross-correlation coefficients

SYNOPSIS

       gbacorr [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Compute auto/cross-correlation coefficients

       If the input is a single columns x_1...X_T, the autocorrelation function c(t) is printed, defined as

              c_{t} = 1/(T-t-1) \sum_i (x_i-m) (x_{i+t}-m) /s^2

       where  m  is  the  sample  average  and  s  the  standard deviation.  With a second column y_1...y_T, the
       cross-correlation

              c_{t} = 1/(T-t-1) \sum_i (x_i-mx) (y_{i+t}-my) /(sx sy)

       is printed where mx and my are the average values of the  two  columns  and  sx  and  sy  their  standard
       deviations.  With  -M  1  it  is mx=my=0, the st.dev. is computed accordingly and in the previous formula
       T-t-1 is replaced by T-t.  The range of t is set by option -t.  Options

       -M     choose the method (default '0'):

       0      auto/cross-correlation with mean removal,

       1      auto/cross-correlation without mean removal

       -t     set range of t (default '0,10'), accept negative integers

       -p     specify the confidence level in (0,1). Interval ac_low,ac_hi has  a  probability  1-confidence  to
              contain the true value. With this option the output becomes: lag ac ac_low ac_hi.

       -F     specify the input fields separators (default " \t")

       -h     this help

EXAMPLES

       gbacorr -t 0,2 'file(1)'
              first three a.c. coeff. of the first data column

       gbacorr -p 0.05 'file(1:2)' x-corr of the first two columns together with
              their 5% confidence intervals
