#'Compute the correlation coefficient between an array of forecast and their corresponding observation #' #'Calculate the correlation coefficient (Pearson, Kendall or Spearman) for #'an array of forecast and an array of observation. The correlations are #'computed along time_dim, the startdate dimension. If comp_dim is given, #'the correlations are computed only if obs along the comp_dim dimension are #'complete between limits[1] and limits[2], i.e., there is no NA between #'limits[1] and limits[2]. This option can be activated if the user wants to #'account only for the forecasts which the corresponding observations are #'available at all leadtimes.\cr #'The confidence interval is computed by the Fisher transformation and the #'significance level relies on an one-sided student-T distribution.\cr #'If the dataset has more than one member, ensemble mean is necessary necessary #'before using this function since it only allows one dimension 'dat_dim' to #'have inconsistent length between 'exp' and 'obs'.
