## Compute a matrix of correlation coefficients.
##
## @var{x} is an array where each column contains a variable and each row is
## an observation.
##
## If a second input @var{y} (of the same size as @var{x}) is given then
## calculate the correlation coefficients between @var{x} and @var{y}.
##
## @var{param}, @var{value} are optional pairs of parameters and values which
## modify the calculation.  Valid options are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"alpha"}
## Confidence level used for the bounds of the confidence interval, @var{lci}
## and @var{hci}.  Default is 0.05, i.e., 95% confidence interval.
##
## @item @qcode{"rows"}
## Determine processing of NaN values.  Acceptable values are @qcode{"all"},
## @qcode{"complete"}, and @qcode{"pairwise"}.  Default is @qcode{"all"}.
## With @qcode{"complete"}, only the rows without NaN values are considered.
## With @qcode{"pairwise"}, the selection of NaN-free rows is made for each
## pair of variables.
## @end table
##
## Output @var{r} is a matrix of Pearson's product moment correlation
## coefficients for each pair of variables.
##
## Output @var{p} is a matrix of pair-wise p-values testing for the null
## hypothesis of a correlation coefficient of zero.
##
## Outputs @var{lci} and @var{hci} are matrices containing, respectively, the
## lower and higher bounds of the 95% confidence interval of each correlation
## coefficient.
## @seealso{corr, cov}
## @end deftypefn

## FIXME: It would be good to add a definition of the calculation method
## for a Pearson product moment correlation to the documentation.
