How much a signal matches itself when it's shifted in time, used in areas like sound processing or physics to find repeating patterns.
By analyzing the autocorrelation, scientists can see if a sound wave repeats at certain intervals.
通过分析自相关性,科学家们可以看出声波是否在特定间隔重复。
In statistics, how a value relates to its past values over time, helping to find regular cycles in data.
