Description

@rhettinger
  • Use sumprod() which is faster, simpler, and more accurate than rounding each multiplication before summation.
  • For an additional speed-up and simplification, compute the (x_xi - bar) only once instead of multiple times.
  • For Spearman's rank correlation, we can skip the (x_xi - bar) step because the ranks are centered around zero.
