I have been struggling the last days trying to compute the degrees of freedom of two pair of vectors (x and y) following reference of Chelton (1983) which is: degrees of freedom according to Chelton(1983) and I can't find a proper way to calculate the normalized cross correlation function using np.correlate, I always get an output that it isn't in between -1, 1. Is there any easy way to get the cross correlation function normalized in order to compute the degrees of freedom of two vectors? Continue reading...
