- eureka an alloy of copper and nickel with high electrical resistance and a low temperature coefficient; used as resistance wire
- weighting (statistics) a coefficient assigned to elements of a frequency distribution in order to represent their relative importance
- pyrex a borosilicate glass with a low coefficient of expansion; used for heat-resistant glassware in cooking and chemistry
- product-moment correlation coefficient the most commonly used method of computing a correlation coefficient between variables that are linearly related
- biserial correlation a correlation coefficient in which one variable is many-valued and the other is dichotomous
- differentiable possessing a differential coefficient or derivative
- rank-order correlation coefficient the most commonly used method of computing a correlation coefficient between the ranks of scores on two variables
- tetrachoric correlation a correlation coefficient computed for two normally distributed variables that are both expressed as a dichotomy
- negative 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
