[SciPy-User] moving window (2D) correlation coefficient

[Zachary Pincus]

I bet that you could construct an array with shape (x,y,5,5), where  
array[i,j,:,:] would give the 5x5 window around (i,j), as some sort of  
mind-bending view on an array of shape (x,y), using a positive offset  
and some dimensions having negative strides. Then you could compute  
the correlation coefficient between the two arrays directly. Maybe?

Probably cython would be more maintainable...
