function a_coefs_db = corrcoef(db, props)
% corrcoef - Calculates a correlation coefficient matrix by comparing cols.
%
% Usage:
% a_coefs_db = corrcoef(db, cols, props)
%
% Parameters:
% db: A tests_db object.
% cols: Columns to be compared.
% props: A structure with any optional properties.
% skipCoefs: If 1, coefficients of less confidence than %95
% will be skipped. (default=1)
% alpha: Skip coefs with p values lower than this (default=0.05).
%
% Returns:
% a_coefs_db: A tests_3D_db of the coefficients.
