Description

Estimates autoregressive (AR) linear model coefficients using Burg's method

The AR features box calculate the coefficients using Burg's method [1] to compute the AutoRegressive (AR) model of an input signal. The AR model is a representation that describes a time varying process by its own previous values.

The definition used is :

Where a(i) are the autoregressive coefficients or parameters of the model, x(t) is the input signal, x(t-i) its previous values, N is the order (length) of the model and epsilon(t) is the residue, assumed to be Gaussian white noise.

The model order (see [2]) needs to be specified in the settings of the box.
