            Abstract : 
The relative magnitude estimator computes the normalized autocorrelation of a stationary Gaussian process using simple nonlinear functions to eliminate most multiplications. Approximate expressions for bias and variance of the estimate are presented along with the results of a computer simulation. The estimator performs well when compared to similar techniques
