[R] problem with "acf" function

I think I found the pb for the variance case: 
Apparently we compute the unbiased estimator of the variance with "acf"
while Excel gives the biased one...
The covariance case must be related

Hi List,

 

Does anyone have ever check the results given by the "acf" function?
What formula does it do for lagged autocorrelations and lagged
cross-autocorrelation? My problem is that excel gives quite different
results (sometimes 10% different than acf). Anyone has encountered those
problems before? 

 

 

Kind Regards

 

Stephane
