Correlation Analysis
Introduction
In , we uncover
relationships between variables to gain
insights into data patterns and trends. By
examining the strength and direction of
associations, we can make informed
decisions and predictions. Let's delve into
the fascinating world of correlations and
their implications.
Understanding
Correlation
Correlation measures the and
of the linear relationship between
two variables. It ranges from -1 to 1,
where
1 indicates a perfect positive
correlation, -1 indicates a perfect negative
correlation, and 0 indicates no correlation.
Understanding these
relationships is crucial for data
analysis and decision-
making.
Types of Correlation
There are three types of correlation:
, , and .
Positive correlation indicates that as one
variable
increases, the other also
increases. Negative correlation denotes
that as one variable increases, the other
decreases. Zero correlation implies no
discernible pattern between the
variables.
