About correlation analysis in multivariate analysis

This is an article about correlation analysis in multivariate analysis.

hello!

Today we will learn about correlation analysis in multivariate analysis.

Correlation analysis is a statistical method that determines the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, and is one of the important techniques in multivariate analysis.

We will explain correlation analysis below.

Concept of correlation analysis

Correlation Coefficient

It is a statistical indicator of the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables.

Typically, the Pearson correlation coefficient is used and has a value between -1 and 1.

Use of correlation analysis

Identify relationships between variables: Used to understand and explain the interactions and influences between variables.

modelling

In multivariate analysis, it is used to build a model and improve predictive power by considering the correlation between variables.

caution

Causal fallacy

Correlation analysis shows a relationship between two variables, but does not necessarily imply a causal relationship.

A high correlation between two variables does not necessarily mean there is a causal relationship.

Non-linear relationship

Correlation analysis only identifies linear relationships and may not identify non-linear relationships.

Multiple Correlation

It is a technique to analyze the correlation between three or more variables and is used to identify multivariate relationships between variables.

Conclusion

Correlation analysis is an important technique in multivariate analysis and is used to understand and model relationships between variables.
