+## usage: [a, v, k] = aryule (x, p)
+##
+## fits an AR (p)-model with Yule-Walker estimates.
+## x = data vector to estimate
+## a: AR coefficients
+## v: variance of white noise
+## k: reflection coeffients for use in lattice filter
+##
+## The power spectrum of the resulting filter can be plotted with
+## pyulear(x, p), or you can plot it directly with ar_psd(a,v,...).
+##
+## See also:
+## pyulear, power, freqz, impz -- for observing characteristics of the model
+## arburg -- for alternative spectral estimators
+##
+## Example: Use example from arburg, but substitute aryule for arburg.
+##
+## Note: Orphanidis '85 claims lattice filters are more tolerant of
+## truncation errors, which is why you might want to use them. However,
+## lacking a lattice filter processor, I haven't tested that the lattice
+## filter coefficients are reasonable.
