+    Calculate the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for a given list of prices.
+
+    RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
+    It is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in a market.
+
+    Args:
+        prices (List[float]): A list of prices for a financial asset.
+        period (int): The number of periods to use in the calculation (default is 14).
+
+    Returns:
+        List[float]: A list of RSI values corresponding to the input price data.
+
+    Example:
+        >>> rsi_values = calculate_rsi([44.0, 44.15, 44.09, 44.20, 44.30, 44.25, 44.40, 44.35, 44.50, 44.60, 44.55, 44.75, 44.80, 44.70, 44.85], 14)
+        >>> print(rsi_values)  # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+        [78.91..., 80.99...]
