[rrd-users] Data Mining: Correlation Engine

Well, we are always trying to "find the signal in the noise" and it seems
this would be a natural progression of this concept.
So can any of the statistical majors in the group recommend a wickedly fast
correlation source code collection?
Since we are talking about an O(n^2) dataset time will be of the essence -
I've already seen some FFT implementations - I am leaning to compiled C code
for speed but I'd appreciate any pointers...the data is waiting to be mined
;)

Cheers,
Fletcher
