    Study Notes

    Correlation and Regression Coefficients

    • Regression coefficients can take any value, indicating the type and strength of the relationship between two variables.
    • Correlation coefficients range between 0 and 1, measuring the strength and direction of a linear relationship.
    • Shifting the origin of the data does not affect the correlation coefficient; the numerical relationship remains unchanged.
    • While shifting the origin impacts the absolute values of correlation coefficients, it does not alter their sign.

    Statements on Regression Coefficients

    • The coefficients byx (slope from y to x) and bxy (slope from x to y) can be influenced by the relationship between the variables and may be positive or negative.
    • Regression slopes byx and bxy can be significantly large, though they cannot exceed 1, as they represent the slope of the respective regression lines.
    • The value range of byx and bxy typically lies between 0 and 1, reinforcing the nature of their relationship.

    Interpretation of r Values

    • An r value of 0 signifies independence between two variables, indicating no linear relationship exists between them.
