Correlation: Standards, Other measures of association among random variables & Correlation matrices

In statistics, correlation is a type of statistical relationship between two random variables or bivariate data. It usually refers to the extent to which a pair of quantities are linearly related. More generally, an arbitrary relationship between variables is called an association, meaning the degree to which the variability in one can be accounted for…
