corrStable

Calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient:

$$\frac{\Sigma{(x - \bar{x})(y - \bar{y})}}{\sqrt{\Sigma{(x - \bar{x})^2} * \Sigma{(y - \bar{y})^2}}}$$

Similar to the corr function, but uses a numerically stable algorithm. As a result, corrStable is slower than corr but produces a more accurate result.

Syntax
