Covariance and correlation

Spurious correlation of ratios

In statistics, spurious correlation of ratios is a form of spurious correlation that arises between ratios of absolute measurements which themselves are uncorrelated. The phenomenon of spurious correlation of ratios is one of the main motives for the field of compositional data analysis, which deals with the analysis of variables that carry only relative information, such as proportions, percentages and parts-per-million. Spurious correlation is distinct from misconceptions about correlation and causality. (Wikipedia).

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

RELATIONSHIPS Between Variables: Standardized Covariance (7-1)

Correlation is a way of measuring the extent to which two variables are related. The term correlation is synonymous with “relationship.” Variables are related when changes in one variable are consistently associated with changes in another variable. Dr. Daniel reviews Variance, Covariance,
