Study Notes
Correlation Analysis
- Measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two continuous variables.
- Helps in understanding how changes in one variable affect the other.
- Aids in making predictions and guiding interventions.
Uses of Correlation Analysis
- Identifying relationships between variables, such as body weight and blood pressure, drug dosage and patient response, etc.
- Example: Examining the relationship between physical activity and heart health by collecting data on hours spent exercising per week and resting heart rate.
Types of Correlation Coefficients
Pearson Correlation Coefficient
- Measures the linear relationship between two continuous variables.
- Uses the exact value and is parametric.
Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient
- Assesses the monotonic relationship between two variables, which may not be linear.
- Uses the rank of the value and is non-parametric.
Assumptions of Correlation Analysis
- Both variables are continuous or at least interval-level.
- The relationship is linear for Pearson correlation.
- Data points are independent of each other.
- There are no outliers or influential points.
