Correlation And Dependence

Correlation and dependence are two fundamental concepts in statistics.

A correlation is a measure of the degree to which two variables are associated, and a dependence is a relationship between variables where changing one variable (e.g., X) affects the value of another variable (e.g., Y) in a predictable way.

Correlations can be positive or negative, but almost always they are clustered around some value called the “correlation coefficient.
