shconfidence(1)

SHConfidence

Compute the probability that two functions are correlated at a given spherical harmonic degree for a given correlation coefficient.

Usage

prob = SHConfidence (l, corr)

Parameters

prob : output, real(dp)
    Probability that two functions expressed in spherical coefficients with spectral correlation corr are correlated at degree l.

l : input, integer(int32)
    The spherical harmonic degree.

corr : input, real(dp)
    The correlation coefficient of the two data sets at degree l.

Description

SHConfidence will calculate the probability (between 0 and 1) that two sets of spherical harmonic coefficients with spectral correlation corr are linearly correlated at a given degree. This is calculated using equation A7 from Pauer et al. (2006).
