Add Yang-Zhang Volatility (YZV) Indicator Implementation

- Introduced YZV class for calculating Yang-Zhang Volatility, a comprehensive volatility measure that incorporates overnight, open-to-close, and high-low components.
- Implemented calculation methods, including batch processing for TBarSeries and spans.
- Added documentation for YZV, detailing its mathematical foundation, performance profile, and trading applications.
- Updated volume index documentation to reflect changes in file paths.
- Refactored VWMA calculation method to use a more generic source parameter instead of price.

+/// Correlation: Calculates Pearson's correlation coefficient between two price series
+/// using a streaming single-pass algorithm with circular buffers.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// The Pearson correlation coefficient measures the linear relationship between two variables.
+/// It ranges from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation).
+///
+/// Algorithm:
+/// 1. Maintain running sums: Σx, Σy, Σx², Σy², Σxy
+/// 2. Calculate means: μx = Σx/n, μy = Σy/n
+/// 3. Calculate variances: σx² = Σx²/n - μx², σy² = Σy²/n - μy²
+/// 4. Calculate covariance: cov(x,y) = Σxy/n - μx×μy
+/// 5. Correlation: r = cov(x,y) / (σx × σy)
+///
+/// Interpretation:
+/// - r = +1: Perfect positive linear relationship
+/// - r = -1: Perfect negative linear relationship
+/// - r = 0: No linear relationship
+/// - |r| > 0.7: Strong correlation
+/// - 0.3 < |r| < 0.7: Moderate correlation
+/// - |r| < 0.3: Weak correlation

+# CORR: Pearson Correlation Coefficient
+
+> "Correlation is not causation, but it sure is a hint. The market doesn't care why two instruments move together—only that they do, and whether that relationship will persist long enough for you to profit from it."
+
+The Pearson Correlation Coefficient measures the linear relationship between two variables, returning a value from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation). Zero indicates no linear relationship. This implementation uses running sums for O(1) streaming updates, making it suitable for real-time analysis of price relationships.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+Karl Pearson formalized the correlation coefficient in the 1890s, building on earlier work by Francis Galton. The formula has remained unchanged for over a century because it elegantly captures what traders intuitively understand: when two instruments move together, there's an exploitable relationship.
+
+Unlike cointegration (which tests for long-run equilibrium), correlation measures instantaneous co-movement. Two stocks can be highly correlated yet drift apart permanently—correlation tells you about direction, not destination. This distinction matters enormously for pairs trading: correlation helps with hedging and timing, but cointegration determines whether mean-reversion is statistically justified.
+
+This implementation follows the PineScript reference, using circular buffers and running sums to achieve constant-time updates regardless of lookback period.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+### 1. Running Sums Framework
+
+The indicator maintains five running sums updated incrementally:
+
+| Sum | Description | Formula |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| $S_X$ | Sum of X values | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i$ |
+| $S_Y$ | Sum of Y values | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} Y_i$ |
+| $S_{X^2}$ | Sum of X squared | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i^2$ |
+| $S_{Y^2}$ | Sum of Y squared | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} Y_i^2$ |
+| $S_{XY}$ | Sum of X×Y products | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i Y_i$ |
+
+### 2. Circular Buffer
+
+A `RingBuffer` of capacity `period` stores paired values. When full, the oldest pair is subtracted from running sums before adding the new pair—maintaining O(1) complexity regardless of period length.
+
+### 3. Correlation Formula
+
+The Pearson coefficient is computed as:
+
+$$r = \frac{\text{Cov}(X, Y)}{\sigma_X \cdot \sigma_Y}$$
+
+Expanded using running sums:
+
+$$r = \frac{n \cdot S_{XY} - S_X \cdot S_Y}{\sqrt{(n \cdot S_{X^2} - S_X^2)(n \cdot S_{Y^2} - S_Y^2)}}$$
+
+Where $n$ is the number of observations (capped at `period`).
+
+### 4. Edge Case Handling
+
+| Condition | Result | Rationale |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| Zero variance in X or Y | NaN | Division by zero—undefined correlation |
+| Insufficient data | NaN | Need at least 2 points |
+| NaN/Infinity input | Last valid value | Substitution preserves series continuity |
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Derivation from Covariance
+
+Starting with the population covariance:
+
+$$\text{Cov}(X, Y) = \frac{\sum(X_i - \bar{X})(Y_i - \bar{Y})}{n}$$
+
+Expanding:
+
+$$\text{Cov}(X, Y) = \frac{\sum X_i Y_i}{n} - \bar{X} \cdot \bar{Y}$$
+
+$$= \frac{S_{XY}}{n} - \frac{S_X}{n} \cdot \frac{S_Y}{n}$$
+
+$$= \frac{n \cdot S_{XY} - S_X \cdot S_Y}{n^2}$$
+
+Similarly for standard deviations:
+
+$$\sigma_X = \sqrt{\frac{S_{X^2}}{n} - \left(\frac{S_X}{n}\right)^2} = \frac{\sqrt{n \cdot S_{X^2} - S_X^2}}{n}$$
+
+Combining:
+
+$$r = \frac{\text{Cov}(X, Y)}{\sigma_X \cdot \sigma_Y} = \frac{n \cdot S_{XY} - S_X \cdot S_Y}{\sqrt{(n \cdot S_{X^2} - S_X^2)(n \cdot S_{Y^2} - S_Y^2)}}$$
+
+### Update Mechanics
+
+When a new pair $(x_{new}, y_{new})$ arrives and an old pair $(x_{old}, y_{old})$ exits the window:
+
+$$S_X \leftarrow S_X - x_{old} + x_{new}$$
+$$S_Y \leftarrow S_Y - y_{old} + y_{new}$$
+$$S_{X^2} \leftarrow S_{X^2} - x_{old}^2 + x_{new}^2$$
+$$S_{Y^2} \leftarrow S_{Y^2} - y_{old}^2 + y_{new}^2$$
+$$S_{XY} \leftarrow S_{XY} - x_{old} \cdot y_{old} + x_{new} \cdot y_{new}$$
+
+This achieves O(1) per-bar complexity.
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| ADD/SUB | 12 | 1 | 12 |
+| MUL | 8 | 3 | 24 |
+| DIV | 1 | 15 | 15 |
+| SQRT | 1 | 15 | 15 |
+| Buffer Access | 2 | 3 | 6 |
+| **Total** | **24** | — | **~72 cycles** |
+
+Correlation is significantly cheaper than cointegration (~72 vs ~282 cycles) because it doesn't require the ADF regression step.
+
+### Memory Footprint
+
+| Component | Size |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| Ring buffer (period × 2 doubles) | 16 × period bytes |
+| Running sums (5 doubles) | 40 bytes |
+| State variables | 32 bytes |
+| **Total per instance** | **~16 × period + 72 bytes** |
+
+For period=20: ~392 bytes per indicator instance.
+
+### Batch Mode (SIMD Potential)
+
+The correlation formula is not directly SIMD-friendly due to the final division and square root. However, the running sum accumulation phase can benefit from vectorization when processing batches:
+
+| Phase | SIMD Benefit |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| Sum accumulation | 4-8× (AVX2/AVX-512) |
+| Final formula | 1× (scalar) |
+| **Overall improvement** | ~2-3× for batch processing |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact Pearson formula |
+| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Responsive to recent changes |
+| **Robustness** | 9/10 | Handles edge cases gracefully |
+| **Interpretability** | 10/10 | Universal [-1, +1] scale |
+
+## Validation
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib** | N/A | No correlation implementation |
+| **Skender** | N/A | No direct correlation (has Beta) |
+| **Tulip** | N/A | No correlation implementation |
+| **Ooples** | N/A | No correlation implementation |
+| **TradingView** | ✅ | Matches PineScript `ta.correlation()` |
+| **Mathematical** | ✅ | Validated against known properties |
+
+Note: Correlation is typically found in statistical packages rather than TA libraries. This implementation validates against mathematical properties (symmetry, boundedness, scale invariance) and the PineScript reference.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### 1. Hedging
+
+Find correlated instruments to offset risk:
+- **r > 0.7**: Strong positive correlation, use for portfolio diversification analysis
+- **r < -0.7**: Strong negative correlation, natural hedges
+
+### 2. Pairs Trading (Short-Term)
+
+Identify co-moving pairs for short-term mean reversion:
+- High correlation indicates pairs move together
+- Combine with cointegration for statistical justification
+
+### 3. Sector Analysis
+
+Measure how closely a stock tracks its sector or index:
+- Rolling correlation reveals changing relationships
+- Divergence from sector may signal alpha opportunities
+
+### 4. Risk Management
+
+Monitor correlation stability:
+- Correlations tend toward 1 during market stress
+- "Correlation breakdown" can devastate hedged portfolios
+
+## API Usage
+
+### Streaming Mode (Bi-Input)
+
+```csharp
+var corr = new Correlation(period: 20);
+foreach (var (priceA, priceB) in pricePairs)
+{
+    var result = corr.Update(priceA, priceB);
+    if (corr.IsHot)
+    {
+        Console.WriteLine($"Correlation: {result.Value:F4}");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Batch Mode
+
+```csharp
+var seriesA = new TSeries();
+var seriesB = new TSeries();
+// ... populate series ...
+var results = Correlation.Calculate(seriesA, seriesB, period: 20);
+```
+
+### Span Mode (Zero Allocation)
+
+```csharp
+double[] pricesA = new double[1000];
+double[] pricesB = new double[1000];
+double[] output = new double[1000];
+// ... populate inputs ...
+Correlation.Calculate(pricesA.AsSpan(), pricesB.AsSpan(), output.AsSpan(), period: 20);
+```
+
+### Bar Correction Support
+
+```csharp
+var corr = new Correlation(20);
+
+// New bar
+corr.Update(100.0, 50.0, isNew: true);  // r = 0.85
+
+// Same bar corrected (e.g., real-time tick update)
+corr.Update(101.0, 51.0, isNew: false); // Recalculates without advancing state
+```
+
+## Interpreting Results
+
+| Correlation | Interpretation |
+| :---: | :--- |
+| **+0.7 to +1.0** | Strong positive: move in same direction |
+| **+0.3 to +0.7** | Moderate positive |
+| **-0.3 to +0.3** | Weak or no linear relationship |
+| **-0.7 to -0.3** | Moderate negative |
+| **-1.0 to -0.7** | Strong negative: move in opposite directions |
+
+**Warning**: Correlation only measures *linear* relationships. Two variables with a perfect quadratic relationship (Y = X²) may show r ≈ 0.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Confusing Correlation with Causation**: High correlation does not imply one variable causes changes in the other. Both may be driven by a third factor (confounding).
+
+2. **Assuming Stability**: Correlations change over time. A 0.9 correlation over the past year doesn't guarantee 0.9 tomorrow. Rolling correlation reveals regime changes.
+
+3. **Ignoring Non-Linear Relationships**: Pearson correlation misses curvilinear dependencies. If you suspect non-linear relationships, consider Spearman rank correlation instead.
+
+4. **Crisis Correlation Spike**: During market stress, correlations tend toward 1.0 (or -1.0 for inverse ETFs). Diversification benefits evaporate precisely when you need them most.
+
+5. **Lookback Period Selection**: Short periods (5-10) are noisy but responsive. Long periods (50-100) are stable but slow to adapt. Match the period to your trading horizon.
+
+6. **Zero-Variance Edge Case**: If either series is constant within the window, variance is zero and correlation is undefined (NaN). This is mathematically correct.
+
+7. **Warmup Period**: The indicator requires `period` bars before producing valid results. During warmup, `IsHot` returns false.
+
+8. **Outlier Sensitivity**: Pearson correlation is sensitive to outliers. A single extreme observation can dramatically shift the coefficient. Consider winsorizing data or using Spearman for robustness.
+
+## Correlation vs Cointegration
+
+| Aspect | Correlation | Cointegration |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Measures** | Linear co-movement | Long-run equilibrium |
+| **Range** | [-1, +1] | ADF statistic (unbounded) |
+| **Time horizon** | Short-term | Long-term |
+| **Use case** | Hedging, risk | Pairs trading |
+| **Computational cost** | ~72 cycles | ~282 cycles |
+| **Stationarity required** | No | Yes (I(1) series) |
+
+**Rule of thumb**: Use correlation for hedging and short-term analysis. Use cointegration for pairs trading and mean-reversion strategies.
