[Numpy-discussion] corrcoeff on big matrix

[Colin J. Williams]

I'm puzzled that anyone would want to explore the correlation among 42 
variables.  I would suggest (1) having a go with the more significant of 
the 42 variables and (2) working with a a much smaller sample, say < 4,000.

Todd,

I'd be grateful if you could clarify this, do we nor have _nt.Float64 now?
