Correlation

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…

Let X and Y have joint PDFfX,Y (x, y) = 3x^2y + 3xy^2 if 0 < x < 1, and 0 < y < 1 0 otherwise.a) Find the covariance of X and Y .b) Find Var(X).c) Find the correlation of X and Y (X and Y have the same variance.)

Suppose that Y₁ and Y₂ are uniformly distributed over the triangle shaded in the accompanying figure. 3₂ (0, 1) (-1,0) (a) Find Cov(Y₁ Y₂). Cov(Y₁, Y₂) = (b) Are Y₁ and Y₂ independent? Yes O No (1, 0) (c) Find the coefficient of correlation for Y₁ and Y₂. P= y/₁ (d) Does your answer to part (b) lead you to doubt your answer to part (a)? Why or why not? O Even though Cov(Y₁Y₂) # 0, Y₁ and Y₂ are not necessarily dependent. Since Cov(Y₁ Y₂) # 0, we should expect Y₁ and Y₂ to be dependent. O Since Cov(Y₁, Y₂) = 0, we should expect Y₁ and Y₂ to be independent. O Even though Cov(Y₁Y₂) = 0, Y₁ and Y₂ are not necessarily independent.
