Covariance vs Correlation

Analytics Vidhya

This article is about Covariance and Correlation : what are they and how are they related and how they differ from each other. Covariance and Correlation are the two statistical measures which tells…

Covariance and Correlation

Towards Data Science

Covariance and Correlation are very helpful in understanding the relationship between two continuous variables. Covariance tells whether both variables vary in the same direction (positive…

Let us understand the correlation matrix and covariance matrix

Towards Data Science

Covariance and correlation are two significantly used terms in the field of statistics and probability theory. Most articles and reading material on probability and statistics presume a basic…

A trip from variance-covariance to correlation and back

R-bloggers

The variance-covariance and the correlation matrices are two entities that describe the association between the columns of a two-way data matrix. They are very much used, e.g., in agriculture, biology...

The Geometric Meaning of Covariance

Towards Data Science

Heuristically, covariance is telling us something about how much the random variables X and Y “move together” or “co-vary” (as opposed to “contra-vary”) away from their means. If X and Y are…

Correlation vs covariance: it’s much simpler than it seems

Towards Data Science

What is correlation? How can we compute correlation between to continuous variables? And what are the differences with covariance? Clearly, two persons who understood what is correlation. Photo by Ji...

Covariance Calculation Using Python

Python in Plain English

Covariance is the joint variability of two random variables, i.e. if the value of a variable x_ii increases how the value of x_ij changes. If the value of x_ii gets larger with the value of x_ij…

Pearson correlation coefficient

Analytics Vidhya

In my previous blog, we learnt about Covariance to measure relationship between two random variables. As Covariance has limitation to quantify the relationship, there is another concept called…

Correlation

Analytics Vidhya

Correlation explains how two variables are related to each other. This is an important statistical tool for bivariable analysis in data science. Correlation does not mean causation of these two…

Getting the Basics of Correlation & Covariance

Towards Data Science

Correlation is one of the widely used statistical concepts. This blog post tries to answer what correlation is, why it is so helpful, what relationship correlation and covariance share and some of…

What it takes to be correlated

Towards Data Science

Correlation (to be exact Correlation in Statistic) is a measure of a mutual relationship between two variables whether they are causal or not.

Correlation in Statistics.

Analytics Vidhya

Correlation is a term that is a measure of the strength of a linear relationship between two quantitative variables (e.g., height, weight). Sometimes two or more events are interrelated, i.e., any…
