Definition: Correlation |
CorrelationNoun1. A reciprocal relation between two or more things. 2. A statistic representing how closely two variables co-vary; it can vary from -1 (perfect negative correlation) through 0 (no correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation); "what is the correlation between those two variables?". 3. A statistical relation between two or more variables such that systematic changes in the value of one variable are accompanied by systematic changes in the other.

Date "correlation" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1321. (references) |
Etymology: Correlation \Cor`re*la"tion\, noun. [Late Latin correlatio; Latin cor- + relatio: compare to French corr['e]lation. Compare to Correlation.]. (Websters 1913) |
| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | 1. In statistics, a relationship between two occurrences which is expressed as number between minus one (-1) and plus one (+1). 2. When used without further qualification, the statistical term correlation usually refers to simple, linear correlation between two variables x and y and is measured by the product-moment coefficient of correlation or its sample estimate r defined as follows, where the respective population mean values of x and y are denoted by and , the respective standard deviations by ( x ) and ( y ), and where E is the expected value: The product-moment E[(x - )(y - )] is usually called the covariance of x and y. See autocorrelation, multiple correlation, partial correlation.In connection with correlation, the word simple is used in contradistinction to other qualifiers such as multiple or partial. The word linear refers to a linear relationship between the two variables, or more precisely, to a linear approximation of the regression function of either variable with respect to the other.

Military | 1. In air defense, the determination that an aircraft appearing on a detection or display device, or visually, is the same as that on which information is being received from another source. 2. In intelligence usage, the process which associates and combines data on a single entity or subject from independent observations, in order to improve the reliability or credibility of the information.

Mining | A. The determination of the equivalence in geologic age and/or stratigraphic position of two formations or other stratigraphic units in separated areas; or, more broadly, the determination of the contemporaneity of events in the geologic histories of two areas. Fossils constitute the chief evidence in problems of such correlation. See also:lithologic correlation b. The identification of a phase of a seismic record as representing the same phase on another record, thus relating reflections from the samestratigraphic sequence or refractions from the same marker. (references) |
Statistics | The linear association between two random variables X and Y. It is usually measured by a correlation coefficient, such as Pearson's r, such that the value of the coefficient ranges from-1 to 1. A positive value of r means that the association is positive; i. e. , that if X increases, the value of Y tends to increase linearly, and if X decreases, the value of Y tends to decrease linearly. A negative value of r means that the association is negative; i. e. , that if X increases, the value of Y tends to decrease linearly, and if X decreases, the value of Y tends to increase linearly. The larger r is in absolute value, the stronger the linear association between X and Y. If r is 0, X and Y are said to be uncorrelated, with no linear association between X and Y. Independent variables are always uncorrelated, but uncorrelated variables need not be independent. Source: European Union. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The correlation is 1 in the case of an increasing linear relationship, -1 in the case of a decreasing linear relationship, and some value in between in all other cases, indicating the degree of linear dependence between the variables.
If the variables are independent then the correlation is 0, but the converse is not true because the correlation coefficient detects only linear dependencies between two variables. Here is an example: Suppose the random variable X is uniformly distributed on the interval from -1 to 1, and Y = X2. Then Y is completely determined by X, so that X and Y are as far from being independent as two random variables can be, but their correlation is zero; they are uncorrelated.
If several values of X and Y have been measured, then the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient can be used to estimate the correlation of X and Y. The coefficient is especially important if X and Y are both normally distributed and follow the linear regression model.
Pearson's correlation coefficient is a parametric statistic, and it may be less useful if the underlying assumption of normality is violated. Less powerful non-parametric correlation methods, such as Spearman's ρ may be useful when distributions are not normal.
To get a measure for more general dependencies in the data (also nonlinear) it is better to use so called correlation ratio which is able to detect almost any functional dependency, or mutual information which detects even more general dependencies.
