你可以看看这篇文章。这是一个使用pandas库(适用于Python)根据多个文件的历史外汇货币对数据计算相关性的示例，然后使用seaborn库生成热图图。

pearsonr(x, y)
 Calculates a Pearson correlation coefficient and the p-value for testing
 non-correlation.

 The Pearson correlation coefficient measures the linear relationship
 between two datasets. Strictly speaking, Pearson's correlation requires
 that each dataset be normally distributed. Like other correlation
 coefficients, this one varies between -1 and +1 with 0 implying no
 correlation. Correlations of -1 or +1 imply an exact linear
 relationship. Positive correlations imply that as x increases, so does
 y. Negative correlations imply that as x increases, y decreases.

 The p-value roughly indicates the probability of an uncorrelated system
 producing datasets that have a Pearson correlation at least as extreme
 as the one computed from these datasets. The p-values are not entirely
 reliable but are probably reasonable for datasets larger than 500 or so.

 Parameters
 ----------
 x : 1D array
 y : 1D array the same length as x

 Returns
 -------
 (Pearson's correlation coefficient,
  2-tailed p-value)

def pearson(x,y):
  n=len(x)
  vals=range(n)

  sumx=sum([float(x[i]) for i in vals])
  sumy=sum([float(y[i]) for i in vals])

  sumxSq=sum([x[i]**2.0 for i in vals])
  sumySq=sum([y[i]**2.0 for i in vals])

  pSum=sum([x[i]*y[i] for i in vals])
  # Calculating Pearson correlation
  num=pSum-(sumx*sumy/n)
  den=((sumxSq-pow(sumx,2)/n)*(sumySq-pow(sumy,2)/n))**.5
  if den==0: return 0
  r=num/den
  return r

def correlation_score(y_true, y_pred):
    """Scores the predictions according to the competition rules. 
    
    It is assumed that the predictions are not constant.
    
    Returns the average of each sample's Pearson correlation coefficient"""
    
    y2 = y_pred.copy()
    y2 -= y2.mean(axis=0);    y2 /= y2.std(axis=0) 
    y1 = y_true.copy(); 
    y1 -= y1.mean(axis=0);    y1 /= y1.std(axis=0) 
        
    c = (y1*y2).mean().mean()# Correlation for rescaled matrices is just matrix product and average 
        
    return c

这是使用numpy的Pearson Correlation函数的实现:

def corr(data1, data2):
    "data1 & data2 should be numpy arrays."
    mean1 = data1.mean() 
    mean2 = data2.mean()
    std1 = data1.std()
    std2 = data2.std()

#     corr = ((data1-mean1)*(data2-mean2)).mean()/(std1*std2)
    corr = ((data1*data2).mean()-mean1*mean2)/(std1*std2)
    return corr

如果你不喜欢安装scipy，我使用了这个快速的hack，稍微修改了Programming Collective Intelligence:

def pearsonr(x, y):
  # Assume len(x) == len(y)
  n = len(x)
  sum_x = float(sum(x))
  sum_y = float(sum(y))
  sum_x_sq = sum(xi*xi for xi in x)
  sum_y_sq = sum(yi*yi for yi in y)
  psum = sum(xi*yi for xi, yi in zip(x, y))
  num = psum - (sum_x * sum_y/n)
  den = pow((sum_x_sq - pow(sum_x, 2) / n) * (sum_y_sq - pow(sum_y, 2) / n), 0.5)
  if den == 0: return 0
  return num / den
