How to get correlation of two vectors in python

Question

In Matlab I use

a=[1,4,6] 

b=[1,2,3] 

corr(a,b)

which returns .9934. I've tried numpy.correlate but it returns something completely different. What is the simplest way to get the correlation of two vectors?

Answer 1

For getting a correlation of two vectors you can also use numpy.corrcoef:

import numpy 

print(numpy.corrcoef(a,b))
