## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{a}, @var{v}, @var{k}] =} arburg (@var{x}, @var{poles}, @var{criterion})
##
## Calculate coefficients of an autoregressive (AR) model of complex data
## @var{x} using the whitening lattice-filter method of Burg (1968).  The
## inverse of the model is a moving-average filter which reduces @var{x} to
## white noise.  The power spectrum of the AR model is an estimate of the
## maximum entropy power spectrum of the data.  The function @code{ar_psd}
## calculates the power spectrum of the AR model.
##
## ARGUMENTS:
## @itemize
## @item
## @var{x}
## sampled data
## @item
## @var{poles}
## number of poles in the AR model or limit to the number of poles if a
## valid @var{criterion} is provided.
## @item
## @var{criterion}
## model-selection criterion.  Limits the number of poles so that spurious
## poles are not added when the whitened data has no more information
## in it (see Kay & Marple, 1981). Recognized values are
## 'AKICc' -- approximate corrected Kullback information criterion (recommended),
## 'KIC'  -- Kullback information criterion
## 'AICc' -- corrected Akaike information criterion
## 'AIC'  -- Akaike information criterion
## 'FPE'  -- final prediction error" criterion
## The default is to NOT use a model-selection criterion
## @end itemize
##
## RETURNED VALUES:
## @itemize
## @item
## @var{a}
## list of (P+1) autoregression coefficients; for data input @math{x(n)} and
## white noise @math{e(n)}, the model is
##
## @example
## @group
##                       P+1
## x(n) = sqrt(v).e(n) + SUM a(k).x(n-k)
##                       k=1
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @var{v}
## mean square of residual noise from the whitening operation of the Burg
## lattice filter.
## @item
## @var{k}
## reflection coefficients defining the lattice-filter embodiment of the model
## @end itemize
##
## HINTS:
##
##  (1) arburg does not remove the mean from the data.  You should remove
##      the mean from the data if you want a power spectrum.  A non-zero mean
##      can produce large errors in a power-spectrum estimate.  See
##      "help detrend".
##  (2) If you don't know what the value of "poles" should be, choose the
##      largest (reasonable) value you could want and use the recommended
##      value, criterion='AKICc', so that arburg can find it.
##      E.g. arburg(x,64,'AKICc')
##      The AKICc has the least bias and best resolution of the available
##      model-selection criteria.
##  (3) Autoregressive and moving-average filters are stored as polynomials
##      which, in matlab, are row vectors.
##
## NOTE ON SELECTION CRITERION:
##
##   AIC, AICc, KIC and AKICc are based on information theory.  They  attempt
##   to balance the complexity (or length) of the model against how well the
##   model fits the data.  AIC and KIC are biased estimates of the asymmetric
##   and the symmetric Kullback-Leibler divergence respectively.  AICc and
##   AKICc attempt to correct the bias. See reference [4].
