When you refer to a "constant", I guess you refer to non-zero mean of the time series. For your example, any of the following would do 

   acorf(detrend(([0:10] + x),0)', 1)
   acorf(center ( (1:10) + x ,1)', 1)

The help function is quite verbose about how a non-zero mean could be handled. (see 'help acorf')

Therefore, I do not agree with your assessment, that the function returns an incorrect result. The function does also not even have the same name than the name a in matlab. So there also no confusion.

If you believe there is a need for an 'autocorr' function, that shows the behavior you expect, it would be very simple to add this.

This code


pkg load signal tsa

x = arma_rnd(0.7, [], 1, 100) ;
acorf((1:10)' + x', 1)


demonstrates that the acorf function is not independent of adding a constant. This contradicts intuition as well as corresponding packages from Matlab (autocorr) and R (acf).
