+> Calculate the [correlation distance][correlation-distance] between two double-precision floating-point strided arrays.
+
+<section class="intro">
+
+The [correlation distance][correlation-distance] between random variables `X` and `Y` is defined as
+
+<!-- <equation class="equation" label="eq:sample_correlation_distance" align="center" raw="D(X, Y) = 1 - \frac{\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^{N-1} (x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\displaystyle\sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^{N-1} (x_i - \bar{x})^2} \sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^{N-1} (y_i - \bar{y})^2}}" alt="Equation for the sample correlation distance."> -->

+```math
+D(X, Y) = 1 - \frac{\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^{N-1} (x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\displaystyle\sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^{N-1} (x_i - \bar{x})^2} \sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^{N-1} (y_i - \bar{y})^2}}
+```
+
+<!-- </equation> -->

+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var dcorrelation = require( '@stdlib/stats/strided/distances/dcorrelation' );
+```
+
+#### dcorrelation( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )
+
+Computes the [correlation distance][correlation-distance] of two double-precision floating-point strided arrays.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
+var y = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, -2.0, 1.0 ] );
+
+var c = dcorrelation( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
+// returns ~0.115
+```
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
+-   **x**: first input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64].
+-   **strideX**: stride length for `x`.
+-   **y**: second input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64].
+-   **strideY**: stride length for `y`.
+
+The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the [correlation distance][correlation-distance] of every other element in `x` and `y`,
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
+var y = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
+
+var c = dcorrelation( 4, x, 2, y, 2 );
+// returns ~0.053
+```
+
+Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
+
+<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
+var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 ] );
+
+var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
+var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
+
+var c = dcorrelation( 4, x1, 2, y1, 2 );
+// returns ~0.693
+```
+
+#### dcorrelation.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )
+
+Computes the [correlation distance][correlation-distance] of two double-precision floating-point strided arrays using alternative indexing semantics.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
+var y = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, -2.0, 1.0 ] );
+
+var c = dcorrelation.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
+// returns ~0.115
+```
+
+The function has the following additional parameters:
+
+-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
+-   **offsetY**: starting index for `y`.
+
+While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to calculate the [correlation distance][correlation-distance] for every other element in `x` and `y` starting from the second element
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
+var y = new Float64Array( [ -7.0, 2.0, 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
+
+var c = dcorrelation.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1, y, 2, 1 );
+// returns ~0.073
+```

+## Notes

+-   If `N <= 1`, both functions return `NaN`.
+-   If all values in either `x` or `y` are constant, the [correlation distance][correlation-distance] is not defined.
