Correlation
- Correlation coeffecient are indicators of strength of linear relationship between two different variables x and y.
- A linear correlation coeffecient has the values in the range of -1.0 to 1.0
- -1.0 is referred as perfect negative correlation
- 1.0 is referred as perfect positive correlation
- 0 indicates there is no relation between variables (independent variable)
