Analysis
Correlation Analysis
• The analysis of ‘Association’ or ‘Relationship’
between two variables.
• Study of how Y would behave when X changes
• Will Y increase or decrease or remain
unchanged when X increases?
• Correlation is not Causation
• Scatter diagram is used to graphically
represent Correlation.
Coefficient of Correlation (r)
• Karl Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient (r)
• r can take a value only between -1 to +1.
• r > 0 indicates positive correlation between X
and Y
• r < 0 indicates negative correlation between X
and Y
• r = 0 indicates No correlation between X and Y
Coefficient of Correlation (r)
• r value indicates direction and strength of
Correlation.
• 0 < r < 0.5 indicates a Weak Positive
Correlation
• 0.5 < r < 1 indicates a Strong Positive
Correlation
• r = 1 indicates a Perfect Positive Correlation
Coefficient of Correlation (r)
• r = 0 indicates No correlation
• -0.5 < r < 0 indicates A Weak negative
correlation
• -1 < r < -0.5 indicates A Strong negative
correlation
• r = -1 indicates A Perfect Negative Correlation
