Cross correlation using mathdotnet c#

问题:

I have recently started using mathdotnet numerics statistical package to do data analysis in c#.

I am looking for the cross correlation function. Does mathdotnet have an api for this?

Previously I have been using MATLAB xcorr or Python numpy.correlate. So I am looking for a C# equivalent of these.

I have looked through their documentation but it isn't very straightforward. https://numerics.mathdotnet.com/api/

Correlation can be calculated by any of the methods from MathNet.Numerics.Statistics.Correlation, like Pearson or Spearman. But if you're looking for results like the ones provided by Matlab's xcorr or autocorr, then you have to manually calculate the correlation using those methods for each lag/delay value between your input samples. Notice this example includes both, cross and auto correlation.

double fs = 50; //sampling rate, Hz
double te = 1; //end time, seconds
int size = (int)(fs * te); //sample size

var t = Enumerable.Range(0, size).Select(p => p / fs).ToArray();
var y1 = t.Select(p => p < te / 2 ? 1.0 : 0).ToArray();
var y2 = t.Select(p => p < te / 2 ? 1.0 - 2*p : 0).ToArray();

var r12 = StatsHelper.CrossCorrelation(y1, y2); // Y1 * Y2
var r21 = StatsHelper.CrossCorrelation(y2, y1); // Y2 * Y1
var r11 = StatsHelper.CrossCorrelation(y1, y1); // Y1 * Y1 autocorrelation

StatsHelper:

public static class StatsHelper
{
    public static LagCorr CrossCorrelation(double[] x1, double[] x2)
    {
        if (x1.Length != x2.Length)
            throw new Exception("Samples must have same size.");

        var len = x1.Length;
        var len2 = 2 * len;
        var len3 = 3 * len;
        var s1 = new double[len3];
        var s2 = new double[len3];
        var cor = new double[len2];
        var lag = new double[len2];

        Array.Copy(x1, 0, s1, len, len);
        Array.Copy(x2, 0, s2, 0, len);

        for (int i = 0; i < len2; i++)
        {
            cor[i] = Correlation.Pearson(s1, s2);
            lag[i] = i - len;
            Array.Copy(s2,0,s2,1,s2.Length-1);
            s2[0] = 0;
        }

        return new LagCorr { Corr = cor, Lag = lag };
    }
}

LagCorr:

public class LagCorr
{
    public double[] Lag { get; set; }
    public double[] Corr { get; set; }
}
