单词 correlation coefficient
释义
correlation coefficient

Statistics
  • Depending on context this refers either to the population correlation coefficient, or the sample correlation coefficient.


Chemical Engineering
  • A statistical number that represents the linear relationship between two variables or groups of variables (X and Y). The correlation has a value between −1 and +1. A positive value represents a positive linear relationship, whereas a negative value represents a negative relationship. A value of 0 represents no relationship between the variables. It is calculated from:

    R=nXY(X)(Y)(nX2(X)2)(nY2(Y)2)

    where n is the number of values. The correlation coefficient requires that the relationship between the two variables is linear. Where this is known not to be the case, then the correlation coefficient is not useful.


Computer
  • See correlation.


Economics
  • A unit-free measure of the degree of linear relationship between two random variables, say, X and Y defined by

    ρXY=Cov(X,Y)Var(X)Var(Y)

    where Cov(X, Y) is the covariance between X and Y. The correlation coefficient lies between −1 and 1, with ρXY = 1 corresponding to a perfect positive linear relationship, and ρXY = −1 corresponding to a perfect negative linear relationship between X and Y. Positive (negative) correlation means that large values of X are likely to be observed with large (small) values of Y.
