Pearson Correlation Explained (Inc. Test Assumptions)

✉️ Join my newsletter

In this video tutorial, I’m going to clearly explain the Pearson correlation test. I will not be covering the detailed maths involved in the test, but instead provide a gentle introduction as to what a Pearson correlation test is. I will also discuss the Pearson correlation test assumptions.

The take home message is that a Pearson correlation test measures how the direction and how strong a linear correlation is between two continuous variables.

i don't know why i understand the topic more when top top bio discuss it compared to my professors

[putimaulida]

is there a what so called independent or dependent variable to do pearson correlation?

[brazilfootball]

Would we say the density of predators and prey be considered dependent observations?

[putimaulida]

may I ask, are all pearson correlation always reciprocal? from the example you mentioned, can the response variable be an explanatory variable, and vice versa?

I ask because it's a bit confusing to differentiate "correlation association" and "regression"

[stumccabe]

"Axes" is the plural of "axis". So one should say "x axis" and "y axis", not "x axes" etc.
Apart from that pedantic criticism, your explanation was very clear. Thank you.
