Compute the Levinson-Durbin recursion.

Syntax

Description

The Levinson-Durbin recursion is an algorithm for finding an all-pole IIR filter with a prescribed deterministic autocorrelation sequence. It has applications in filter design, coding, and spectral estimation. The filter that levinson produces is minimum phase.

a = levinson(r,p) finds the coefficients of an pth-order autoregressive linear process which has r as its autocorrelation sequence. r is a real or complex deterministic autocorrelation sequence (a vector), and p is the order of denominator polynomial A(z); that is, a = [1 a(2) ... a(p+1)]. The filter coefficients are ordered in descending powers of z.

Algorithm

levinson solves the symmetric Toeplitz system of linear equations

where r = [r(1)  ... r(p+1)] is the input autocorrelation vector, and r(i)* denotes the complex conjugate of r(i). The algorithm requires O(p2) flops and is thus much more efficient than the MATLAB \ command for large p. However, the levinson function uses \ for low orders to provide the fastest possible execution.
