1470583016 I_kwDOAMm_X85Xp1Do 7340 xr.corr produces incorrect output for complex arrays 7647340 closed 0     4 2022-12-01T03:00:09Z 2023-02-14T16:38:29Z 2023-02-14T16:38:29Z NONE      

What happened?

I create a DataArray full of complex numbers, and I compute the correlation of the DataArray with itself.

What did you expect to happen?

The absolute value of the correlation coefficient should be equal to 1, up to numerical precision. However, this is not the case. The returned correlation coefficient is around 0.26 and change depending on the number of values in the array.

MVCE confirmation

  • [X] Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
  • [X] Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
  • [X] Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
  • [X] New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
