Despite the chant that correlation is not causation, some researchers believe the design of scatter plots nudges us to the wrong conclusions. Can a change in their design lessen that risk? Analyzing ...

The formula for Pearson’s correlation coefficient, r, relates to how closely a line of best fit, or how well a linear regression, predicts the relationship between the two variables. It is presented ...

Figure 13.10: Canonical Correlation: Statistics Dialog, Canonical Analysis Tab Request Canonical Variate Plots To request plots of the canonical variables, follow these steps: Click on the Plots ...

A strong correlation, say where R is higher than 0.8, is obvious enough because the dots line up in a clean slash. Likewise, a weak correlation, where R is lower than 0.2, looks like the target ...

A plot of the correlation function of a given DNA sequence has certain characteristic features common to almost all organisms. One common feature is that the correlation values at distances that ...

plots the cross-correlation function of Y and X, Cor(y t,x t-s), for s = -L to L, where L is the value of the NLAG= option. Study of the cross-correlation functions can indicate the transfer functions ...

Researchers suggest tilting scatter plots by 45 degrees to make the viewer question assumptions about correlation. Skip to main content Thank you for visiting nature.com.
