/// Volume Price Correlation -- rolling Pearson correlation between bar volume and
/// the bar's close-to-close return over `period` bars.
///
/// ```text
/// return[t] = close[t] - close[t-1]   (raw return)
/// rho[t]    = corr(volume[t-period+1..t], return[t-period+1..t])
/// ```
///
/// A positive correlation means high-volume bars tend to accompany rising prices
/// (accumulation). A negative correlation indicates high volume on falling prices
/// (distribution).
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period + 1` bars have been seen
/// or if variance is zero.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::VolumePriceCorr;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let vpc = VolumePriceCorr::new("vpc", 20).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(vpc.period(), 20);
/// ```
