NAME
     mlib_SignalLPCCovariance_F32  -  perform  linear  predictive
     coding with covariance method

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
     #include 

     mlib_status mlib_SignalLPCCovariance_F32(mlib_f32 *coeff,
          const mlib_f32 *signal, void *state);


DESCRIPTION
     The mlib_SignalLPCCovariance_F32() function performs  linear
     predictive coding with covariance method.


     In linear predictive coding (LPC) model, each speech  sample
     is  represented  as  a linear combination of the past M sam-
     ples.

                    M
            s(n) = SUM a(i) * s(n-i) + G * u(n)
                   i=1



     where s(*) is the speech signal, u(*) is the excitation sig-
     nal,  and  G  is  the  gain constants, M is the order of the
     linear prediction filter. Given s(*), the goal is to find  a
     set  of coefficient a(*) that minimizes the prediction error
     e(*).

                           M
            e(n) = s(n) - SUM a(i) * s(n-i)
                          i=1



     In covariance method, the coefficients can  be  obtained  by
     solving following set of linear equations.

             M
            SUM a(i) * c(i,k) = c(0,k), k=1,...,M
            i=1



     where

                     N-k-1
            c(i,k) =  SUM s(j) * s(j+k-i)

                      j=0



     are the covariance coefficients of s(*), N is the length  of
     the input speech vector.


     Note that the covariance matrix R is a symmetric matrix, and
     the equations can be solved efficiently with Cholesky decom-
     position method.
