   Correlation
   A regular relationship between two dimensions or variables, often expressed in statistical terms. Correlations may be positive or negative. A positive correlation between two variables exists where a high rank on one variable is regularly associated with a high rank on the other. A negative correlation exists where a high rank on one variable is regularly associated with a low rank on the other.

   Correlation
   Quantifies the extent to which two variables are related to each other. it is measured in the range of +1 to -1. A correlation of +1 indicates a perfect positive relationship, ie. as one goes up, the other goes up by the same amount. A correlation of -1 indicates a perfect negative relationship, ie. as one goes up, the other goes down by the same amount. A correlation of 0 indicates that the two variables are completely independent of each other. See also Linefitting.

   Correlation
   The extent to which two quantities – e.g. test scores – are connected in individuals, i.e. the tendency for children who are good at one thing to be good at another, and vice-versa. For instance, verbal and non-verbal reasoning scores are strongly correlated in children. As are height and weight. Correlation is very important in psychology and in testing because if scores correlate well, it suggests that there is something in the tests that taps into similar parts of the mind. There are many ways of approaching correlation in statistics, and many indicators of it. Most use a scale of –1 to +1, the former indicating perfect disagreement, the latter perfect agreement, with all practical examples falling somewhere between. A value of zero means that the quantities in question are not connected at all. This happens surprisingly rarely.

    correlation
    the linear association between two random variables X and Y. It is usually measured by a correlation coefficient, such as Pearson`s r, such that the value of the coefficient ranges from-1 to 1.A positive value of r means that the association is positive; i.e. ,that if X increases, the value of Y tends to increase linearly, and if X decreases, the value of Y tends to decrease linearly. A negative v...
