Pearsons correlation coefficient is the test statistics that measures the statistical relationship, or association, between two continuous variables. The jarquebera and andersondarling normality tests are applied to both variales. Seestigler1986 for information on the history of correlation. The value for a correlation coefficient lies between 0. Pearson s correlation coefficient when applied to a sample is commonly represented by and may be referred to as the sample correlation coefficient or the sample pearson correlation coefficient. Pearson correlation coefficient is a measure of linearity, while spearmans is a measure of monotonicity i.
Figure 2 shows the average accuracy of these models, and their standard deviation from 10 training runs as a function of the numbers of topranking features from pearsons correlation coefficient. If the number of the categories of one of the variables is greater than 10, polychoric treats it is sic continuous, so the correlation of two variables that have 10 categories each would be simply the usual pearson moment correlation found through correlate. Of course, a perfect linear relation is monotone, but the opposite does not hold. When you use the correlation command in stata, listwise deletion of missing data is done by default. A pearson correlation is a number between 1 and 1 that indicates the extent to which two variables are linearly related.
