Correlation

In statistics, correlation is a type of statistical relationship between two random variables or bivariate data. It usually refers to the extent to which a pair of quantities are linearly related. More generally, an arbitrary relationship between variables is called an association, meaning the degree to which the variability in one can be accounted for by the other.
