A Comparison of Methods for Computing Autocorrelation Time

Abstract

This paper describes four methods for estimating autocorrelation time and evaluates these methods with a test set of seven series. Fitting an autoregressive process appears to be the most accurate method of the four. An R package is provided for extending the comparison to more methods and test series.
