+ * <code>double[][]</code> arguments generate correlation matrices. The
+ * columns of the input matrices are assumed to represent variable values.
+ * Correlations are given by the formula</p>
+ *
+ * <p><code>cor(X, Y) = &Sigma;[(x<sub>i</sub> - E(X))(y<sub>i</sub> - E(Y))] / [(n - 1)s(X)s(Y)]</code>

+ * is the mean of the <code>Y</code> values and s(X), s(Y) are standard deviations.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>To compute the correlation coefficient for a single pair of arrays, use {@link #PearsonsCorrelation()}
+ * to construct an instance with no data and then {@link #correlation(double[], double[])}.
+ * Correlation matrices can also be computed directly from an instance with no data using
+ * {@link #computeCorrelationMatrix(double[][])}. In order to use {@link #getCorrelationMatrix()},
+ * {@link #getCorrelationPValues()}, or {@link #getCorrelationStandardErrors()}; however, one of the
