#' @title quickCrossCorr
#' @description Plots a cross-correlation plot to compare the miRNA and mRNA of
#' a selected pair. This is a useful test of the similarities between the the
#' two time series. It tracks movement of two time series relative to one
#' another to determine how well they match and at which point
#' the best match occurs.
#' @param filt_df Dataframe from the matrixFilter function.
#' @param pair Interger representing the pair to be explored.
#' @param miRNA_exp miRNA data from using the diffExpressRes function on miRNA
#' data.
#' @param mRNA_exp mRNA data from using the diffExpressRes function on miRNA
#' data
#' @param scale TRUE or FALSE. Should data be scales. Default is FALSE. If
#' the correlation is based on Log2FC values scale should be TRUE.
#' @param Interpolation TRUE or FALSE. Should the whole time course be
#' interpolated over by a smooth spline? Default is FALSE. This is most useful
#' for longer and regular time courses.
#' @param timecourse If Iterpolation is TRUE, how many time points should be
#' interpolated over?
#' @return A cross correlation plot.
