What formula should I use for 1D autocorrelation?

9 Views Asked by At

I obtained a list of $r^2_{end-to-end}$ from a Monte Carlo simulation of polymer movement.

#r-end-squared

I want to compute autocorrelation, then fit an exponential decay curve on 2D XY plane, and finally obtain the best fit values (fitx, fity).

What fomula can I use for autocorrelation?
