Definition that contains correlation
- coordinate bring (components or parts) into proper or desirable coordination correlation
- align bring (components or parts) into proper or desirable coordination correlation
- correlation 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)
- ordinate bring (components or parts) into proper or desirable coordination correlation
- rank-difference correlation coefficient the most commonly used method of computing a correlation coefficient between the ranks of scores on two variables
- indirect correlation a correlation in which large values of one variable are associated with small values of the other; the correlation coefficient is between 0 and -1
- correlation matrix a matrix giving the correlations between all pairs of data sets
- split-half correlation a correlation coefficient calculated between scores on two halves of a test; taken as an indication of the reliability of the test
- nonlinear correlation any correlation in which the rates of change of the variables is not constant
- positive correlation a correlation in which large values of one variable are associated with large values of the other and small with small; the correlation coefficient is between 0 and +1
