function [autocov,autocor] = sample_autocovariance(data,q)
% Computes the autocovariance function associated to a time series.
%
%
% INPUTS
%
% data [double] T*1 vector of data.
% q [integer] Order of the autocovariance function.
%
% OUTPUTS
% autocov [double] (q+1)*1 vector, autocovariance function (first scalar is the variance).
% autocor [double] (q+1)*1 vector, autocorrelation function (first scalar is equal to one).
