correl

correlation of two variables

Calling Sequence

rho=correl(x,y,fre)

Arguments

:x real or complex vector : :y real or complex vector : :fre matrix of type length(x) x length(y) :

Description

correl(x,y,fre) computes the correlation of two variables x and y. fre is a matrix of dimensions length(x) x length(y). In fre the element of indices (i,j) corresponds to the value or number or frequences of x_i&y_j.
