> Current implementation ignores a row that contains NULL entirely. This means any correlation in such a row (with NULLs) does not contribute to the final answer.
> This improvement is not to drop the whole row if a target column is NULL, but rather to do pairwise correlation for any target columns that exist, to make most use of the data.
