   <title>Description</title>
   <para>
This is an Octave function.
Estimate the cross correlation R_xy(k) of vector arguments X and Y or, if Y is omitted, estimate autocorrelation R_xx(k) of vector X, for a range of lags k specified by argument "maxlag". If X is a
matrix, each column of X is correlated with itself and every other column.
   </para>
   <para>
The cross-correlation estimate between vectors "x" and "y" (of length N) for lag "k" is given by
   </para>
   <para>
N
R_xy(k) = sum x_{i+k} conj(y_i),
i=1
   </para>
   <para>
where data not provided (for example x(-1), y(N+1)) is zero. Note the definition of cross-correlation given above. To compute a cross-correlation consistent with the field of statistics, see xcov.
