NAME
       mlib_SignalLPCCovariance_F32 - perform linear predictive coding with covariance method

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
       #include <mlib.h>

       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 samples.

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

       where  s(*)  is the speech signal, u(*) is the excitation signal, and G is the gain constants, M is the order of the linear prediction fil-
       ter. 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 decomposition method.
