In
statistics, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (
/ˈpɪərsɨn/) (sometimes referred to as the PPMCC or PCC or Pearson's
r) is a measure of the
linear correlation (dependence) between two variables X and Y, giving a value between +1 and −1 inclusive, where 1 is total positive correlation, 0 is no correlation, and −1 is total negative correlationIt is widely used in the sciences as a measure of the degree of linear dependence between two variables.
- Perfect relationship : 1
- Strong relationship : 0.75-1
- Moderate relationship : 0.5-0.75
- Weak relationship : 0.25-0.5
- Note that pearson correlation is for
- linear correlation only
- without outliers
