Correlation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorrelationThe information given by a correlation coefficient is not enough to define the dependence structure between random variables. The correlation coefficient completely defines the dependence structure only in very particular cases, for example when the distribution is a multivariate normal distribution. (See diagram above.) In the case of elliptical distributionsit characterizes the (hyper-)ellipses of equal density; however, it does not completely characterize …
Correlation in Random Variables
www.cis.rit.edu › class › simg713If the random variables are correlated then this should yield a better result, on the average, than just guessing. We are encouraged to select a linear rule when we note that the sample points tend to fall about a sloping line. Yˆ =aX +b where a and b are parameters to be chosen to provide the best results. We would expect a to correspond to the slope and b to the
The Correlation between Two Random Variables in a Coin ...
