This package performs time series analysis on a set of data that may be highly correlated. The estimator performs a “Blocking Method” to output the true mean and standard error (variance) for a given column of data. For more information on the method refernce:

doi = {10.1063/1.457480}
}

The function estimate returns two values: the mean and variance. Insert a Vector of Float64 to recieve the statistics of that column.
