   [projective geometry] A correlation is a duality (collineation from a projective space onto its dual space, taking points to hyperplanes (and vice versa) and preserving incidence) from a projective space to itself. In the case of projective planes correlations can only exist if the plane is ...

9. 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....

10. 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.
