www.westga.eduCorrelation describes linear relationships. Correlation does not describe curve relationships between variables, no matter how strong the relationship is. Cautions: Correlation is not resistant. r is strongly affected by outliers. Correlation is not a complete summary of two-variable data. For example:

www.sjsu.eduCorrelation quantifies the extent to which two quantitative variables, X and Y, “go together.” When high values of X are associated with high values of Y, a positive correlation exists. When high values of X are associated with low values of Y, a negative correlation exists.
Covariance and correlation - University of California, Los ...
www.stat.ucla.eduCorrelation: However, the covariance depends on the scale of measurement and so it is not easy to say whether a particular covariance is small or large. The problem is solved by standardize the value of covariance (divide it by ˙ X˙ Y), to get the so called coe cient of correlation ˆ XY. ˆ= cov(X;Y) ˙ X˙ Y; Always, 1 ˆ 1 cov(X;Y) = ˆ ...

Correlation and Convolution - UMD
www.cs.umd.eduCorrelation and Convolution Class Notes for CMSC 426, Fall 2005 David Jacobs Introduction Correlation and Convolution are basic operations that we will perform to extract information from images. They are in some sense the simplest operations that we can perform on an image, but they are extremely useful. Moreover, because they are simple,
