  2. Correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_coefficient

    A correlation coefficient is a numerical measure of some type of linear correlation, meaning a statistical relationship between two variables. [ a ] The variables may be two columns of a given data set of observations, often called a sample , or two components of a multivariate random variable with a known distribution .

  3. Pearson correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Pearson_correlation_coefficient

    Pearson's correlation coefficient is the covariance of the two variables divided by the product of their standard deviations. The form of the definition involves a "product moment", that is, the mean (the first moment about the origin) of the product of the mean-adjusted random variables; hence the modifier product-moment in the name.

  4. Correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation

    The most familiar measure of dependence between two quantities is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (PPMCC), or "Pearson's correlation coefficient", commonly called simply "the correlation coefficient". It is obtained by taking the ratio of the covariance of the two variables in question of our numerical dataset, normalized to ...

  5. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spearman's_rank_correlation...

    The simplified method should also not be used in cases where the data set is truncated; that is, when the Spearman's correlation coefficient is desired for the top X records (whether by pre-change rank or post-change rank, or both), the user should use the Pearson correlation coefficient formula given above. [8]

  6. Kendall rank correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendall_rank_correlation...

    In statistics, the Kendall rank correlation coefficient, commonly referred to as Kendall's τ coefficient (after the Greek letter τ, tau), is a statistic used to measure the ordinal association between two measured quantities.

  7. Coefficient of multiple correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_multiple...

    The coefficient of multiple correlation is known as the square root of the coefficient of determination, but under the particular assumptions that an intercept is included and that the best possible linear predictors are used, whereas the coefficient of determination is defined for more general cases, including those of nonlinear prediction and those in which the predicted values have not been ...

  8. Covariance and correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_correlation

    Notably, correlation is dimensionless while covariance is in units obtained by multiplying the units of the two variables. If Y always takes on the same values as X , we have the covariance of a variable with itself (i.e. σ X X {\displaystyle \sigma _{XX}} ), which is called the variance and is more commonly denoted as σ X 2 , {\displaystyle ...

  9. Phi coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_coefficient

    In statistics, the phi coefficient (or mean square contingency coefficient and denoted by φ or r φ) is a measure of association for two binary variables.. In machine learning, it is known as the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) and used as a measure of the quality of binary (two-class) classifications, introduced by biochemist Brian W. Matthews in 1975.
