Correlation coefficient

A correlation coefficient is a numerical measure of some type of correlation, meaning a statistical relationship between two variables. 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. Several types of correlation coefficient exist, each with their own definition and own range of usability and characteristics. They all assume values in the range from −1 to +1, where ±1 indicates the strongest possible agreement and 0 the strongest possible disagreement. As tools of analysis, correlation coefficients present certain problems, including the propensity of some types to be distorted by outliers and the possibility of incorrectly being used to infer a causal relationship between the variables (for more, see Correlation does not imply causation). (Wikipedia).

EFFECT Size for Correlation: Coefficient of Determination (7-3)

The Correlation Coefficient is also an Effect Size. An r value can be squared to calculate an effect size. The r-squared is the Coefficient of Determination, expressing the proportion of variance in the dependent variable (Y) explained by variance in the independent variable (X). The rever

Limits of correlation (applied)

Correlation is a standardized covariance (i.e., translated into unit-less form with volatilities). It cannot be used alone: (i) it can be "distorted" by low volatilities, and (ii) it does not give information revealed by the scatter (in this example, both hedge fund series are similarly co
