It seems to me that Wolfram is following yet another path. From http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Autocorrelation.html and more importantly http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Cross-Correlation.html, equation (5):
z_mathworld[k] = sum_n conj(a[n]) * v[n+k] = conj( sum_n a[n] * conj(v[n+k]) ) = conj( z_numpyDocstring[k] ) = conj( z_numpyCode[-k] ) is the conjugate of what the numpy docstring says. So, now we have at least three definitions to chose from :-) Cheers, Bernhard On 09.10.2013, at 22:19, David Goldsmith <d.l.goldsm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Looks like Wolfram MathWorld would favor the docstring, but the possibility > of a "use-domain" dependency seems plausible (after all, a similar dilemma is > observed, e.g., w/ the Fourier Transform)--I guess one discipline's future is > another discipline's past. :-) > > http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Autocorrelation.html >
