It can be shown that determining the long-range behaviour of the correlation function directly from &gamma;<sub>XY</sub> is not a good idea, due to its sensitivity to noise.<ref>[[doi:10.1063/1.873192|B.A. Carreras, D.E.

In practice, long-range correlations may have various origins, and proper techniques are required to distinguish between those.
