Abstract
A comparison is made of three statistical methods of determining the a utocorrelation coefficients and correlation length in a time-data seri es obtained by a computer simulation. Three points of state were chose n where the fluctuations and correlations play different roles: in the liquid, in the solid near melting, and in the melting zone. Taking ac count of the physical meaning of the results, it is found that there i s always a limiting value of the lag at which the series must be cut o ff.
