To solve for the linear prediction coefficients , a(i), i=1:p, you need to solve
the Yule-Walker equation
R*a=x,

where R=[r(0), r(1), ... , r(p-1);
r(-1), r(0), ...., r(p-2);
................................
r(1-p), r(2-p), ...., r(0)];

and x(i)=r(-i), i=1:p;

with r(k) the autocorrelation at lag k. Once you have r, (using xcorr for
example), form R and x, and solve either by inverting R directly or using
Levinson-Durbin.

I think the matlab LPC function returns the prediction error filter
coefficients, b, which are related to the linear prediction coefficients via
b=[1,-a(1),-a(2),.....a(p)].'.

You might expect to get slightly different answers depending on how the
autocorrelation sequence is calculated.

Hope this helps.

Henry-

Is it possible that the MATLAB built-in LPC function returns analysis
coefficients while you are calculating synthesis coefficients?

Or vice versa? There is often naming convention confusion between coefficient
types that are related; e.g. analysis, reflection, etc.

Never mind my earlier posting, I've figured out what's wrong with my
program.

Hi, is anybody familiar with LPC analysis? I tried to write a code that
computes the LPC coefficients of a given signal sequence using
'autocorrelation method' and 'Durbin's recusion algorithm' to solve for the
coefficients. It seems to computes correctly according to the equation:
[R(i,j)]. [a] = [R(i)] ; i = 1,2,...,p

The result that I got agrees with matrix inversion method, that is:

[a] = inv([R(i,j)]).[R(i)]

, but when I compare my result with the result when using 'LPC' function in
MATLAB, they are different.
Anybody has any idea why direct implementation of autocorrelation followed
by Durbin's recursion doesn't give the correct result?
Thanks in advance

Henry.
