==Correlation and cross-correlation== ===Definitions=== The '''[[Autocorrelation matrix|correlation matrix]]''' (also called '''second moment''') of an <math>n \times 1</math> random vector is an <math>n \times n</math> matrix whose (''i,j'')<sup>th</sup> element is the correlation between the ''i''<sup> th</sup> and the ''j''<sup> th</sup> random variables. The correlation matrix is the expected value, element by element, of the <math>n \times n</math> matrix computed as <math>\mathbf{X} \mathbf{X}^T</math>, where the superscript T refers to the transpose of the indicated vector:<ref name=Papoulis>{{cite book |last=Papoulis |first=Athanasius |title=Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes |publisher=McGraw-Hill |edition=Third |year=1991 |isbn=0-07-048477-5 }}</ref>{{rp|p.190}}<ref name=Gubner/>{{rp|p.334}} {{Equation box 1 |indent = |title= |equation = {{NumBlk||<math>\operatorname{R}_{\mathbf{X}\mathbf{X}} = \operatorname{E}[\mathbf{X} \mathbf{X}^{\mathrm T}]</math>|{{EquationRef|Eq.5}}}} |cellpadding= 6 |border |border colour = #0073CF |background colour=#F5FFFA}} By extension, the '''cross-correlation matrix''' between two random vectors <math>\mathbf{X}</math> and <math>\mathbf{Y}</math> (<math>\mathbf{X}</math> having <math>n</math> elements and <math>\mathbf{Y}</math> having <math>p</math> elements) is the <math>n \times p</math> matrix {{Equation box 1 |indent = |title= |equation = {{NumBlk||<math>\operatorname{R}_{\mathbf{X}\mathbf{Y}} = \operatorname{E}[\mathbf{X} \mathbf{Y}^T]</math>|{{EquationRef|Eq.6}}}} |cellpadding= 6 |border |border colour = #0073CF |background colour=#F5FFFA}} ===Properties=== The correlation matrix is related to the covariance matrix by :<math>\operatorname{R}_{\mathbf{X}\mathbf{X}} = \operatorname{K}_{\mathbf{X}\mathbf{X}} + \operatorname{E}[\mathbf{X}]\operatorname{E}[\mathbf{X}]^T</math>. Similarly for the cross-correlation matrix and the cross-covariance matrix: :<math>\operatorname{R}_{\mathbf{X}\mathbf{Y}} = \operatorname{K}_{\mathbf{X}\mathbf{Y}} + \operatorname{E}[\mathbf{X}]\operatorname{E}[\mathbf{Y}]^T</math>
