Thank you Pierre,
                        It appears the numpy.correlate uses the frequency domain method for getting the ccf. I would like to know how serious or exactly what is the issue with normalization?. I have computed cross correlation using the function and interpreting the results based on it. It will be helpful if you could tell me if there is a significant bug in the function
with best regards,
Sudheer
np.correlate works in the time domain. I started a discussion about a month ago about the way it's implemented http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2013-February/065562.html Unfortunately I didn't find time to dig deeper in the matter which needs working in the C code of numpy which I'm not familiar with.

Concerning the normalization of mpl.xcorr, I think that what is computed is just fine. It's just the way this normalization is described in the docstring which I think is weird. https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1835

best,
Pierre
