An apparatus and method for modelling a random process using reduced length least-squares autoregressive parameter estimation is herein disclosed. The apparatus includes an autocorrelation processor, configured to generate or estimate autocorrelations of length m for a stochastic process, where m is an integer; and a least-squares (LS) estimation processor connected to the autocorrelation processor and configured to model the stochastic process by estimating pth order autoregressive (AR) parameters using LS regression, where p is an integer much less than m. The method includes generating, by an autocorrelation processor, autocorrelations of length m for a stochastic process, where m is an integer; and modelling the stochastic process, by a least-squares estimation processor, by estimating pth order autoregressive (AR) parameters by least-squares (LS) regression, where p is an integer much less than m.
