    Pearson Product Correlation

    Uploaded by

    Johnna Mae Erno
    Correlation is a statistical technique used to determine the degree of relationship between two quantitative variables without inferring causation. A scatter diagram uses rectangular coordinates to plot the two variables, with one on the x-axis (independent variable) and one on the y-axis (dependent variable). The pattern shown in the scatter diagram indicates the type of relationship: positive, negative, or no relationship. The Pearson correlation coefficient r measures the strength and direction of association between two variables, with values ranging from -1 to 1, where -1 is a perfect negative correlation, 1 is a perfect positive correlation, and 0 is no correlation. The coefficient is calculated using the sum of the variables, their squares, and their product.

    conventionally assigned values ranging -1
    .to +1
    means a PERFECT NEGATIVE 1 CORRELATION
    means a PERFECT POSITIVE 1+
    CORRELATION
    .value describes no correlation at all 0

    Perfect Positive Correlation


    1+
    Denotes that all of the individual performances
    in X and Y have the same position . All points
    are situated in a straight line . X increases as Y
    increases. (Directly Proportional)

    Perfect Negative Correlation


    1It is the exact opposite. X increases as Y
    decreases. (Inversely Proportional)

    Simple Correlation coefficient (r)


    It is also called Pearson's correlation
    or product moment correlation
    coefficient.
    It measures the nature and strength
    between two variables of
    the quantitative type.
