st: uncentered correlation

[Gerson Dushnitsky <gdushnit@stern.nyu.edu>]

Hi guys,

I would appreciate it if you can help me with the following:

Is there any easy way to calculate UNCENTERED correlation in Stata?

In particular, I have a matrix and I am interested in calculating the
uncentered correlation between the different columns.
Currently, I have written a code that calculates the (regular -- i.e.,
Pearson's) correlation (fyi -- see below).

Thanks,
Gary

Calculating correlation in a matrix:
  matrix B=J(43,43,0)
  local i=1
  while `i' <=43 {
                  local j=1
                  while `j'<= 43 {
                          corr mfctr`i' mfctr`j'
                          if r(rho) ~=. {matrix B[`i',`j']=r(rho)}
                          else {matrix B[`i',`j']=9}
                          local temp=0
                          local j=`j'+1
                              }
                  local i=`i'+1
              }
