"A correlation coefficient is a numerical measure of some type of correlation, meaning a statistical relationship between two variables."
Methods used to examine the relationship between two or more variables, such as linear regression and correlation coefficients.
Types of variables: Understanding the difference between dependent and independent variables, and continuous and categorical variables.
Measures of central tendency: Mean, median, and mode, and their significance in correlation and regression analysis.
Measures of variability: Range, variance, standard deviation, and their significance in measuring the dispersion of data.
Covariance: Defining covariance and how it measures the relationship between two variables.
Correlation coefficient: Defining correlation, correlation coefficient, and the strength of correlation. Understanding the difference between positive, negative, and zero correlations.
Scatterplots: Creating a scatterplot to visualize the relationship between two variables.
Simple linear regression: Understanding simple linear regression analysis and how it shows the relationship between two variables.
Multiple linear regression: Understanding multiple linear regression analysis and how it shows the relationship between more than two variables.
Assumptions of regression analysis: Understanding the assumptions of regression analysis and how they impact the results.
Testing for significance: Understanding how to test the significance of the correlation and regression coefficients.
Residual analysis: Understanding how to evaluate the residuals in regression analysis, and their significance.
Multicollinearity: Understanding multicollinearity and how it can impact regression analysis.
Outliers: Identifying outliers in data and their impact on correlation and regression analysis.
Nonlinear regression: Understanding nonlinear regression analysis and how it can be used in correlation analysis.
Time series analysis: Understanding time series analysis and how it can be used in regression analysis.
Applications: Understanding the practical applications of correlation and regression analysis in various fields like finance, healthcare, education, and more.
Pearson Correlation Coefficient: Measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two continuous variables.
Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient: Measures the strength and direction of a monotonic relationship between two continuous or ordinal variables.
Kendall's Tau Correlation Coefficient: Measures the strength and direction of a monotonic relationship between two ordinal variables.
Multiple Linear Regression Analysis: Examines the relationship between a dependent variable and two or more independent variables.
Logistic Regression Analysis: Used when the dependent variable is dichotomous or binary.
Polynomial Regression Analysis: Used when the relationship between the dependent and independent variables is not linear.
Partial Correlation Coefficient: Measures the strength and direction of the correlation between two variables while controlling for the effects of one or more additional variables.
Time Series Analysis: Examines data measured over time to identify trends and patterns.
Canonical Correlation Analysis: Examines the relationship between two sets of variables.
Ridge Regression Analysis: Used when there is multicollinearity (high correlation) between the independent variables.

"They all assume values in the range from −1 to +1, where ±1 indicates the strongest possible agreement and 0 the strongest possible disagreement."
"Several types of correlation coefficient exist, each with their own definition and own range of usability and characteristics."
"They all assume values in the range from −1 to +1, where ±1 indicates the strongest possible agreement and 0 the strongest possible disagreement."
"As tools of analysis, correlation coefficients present certain problems, including the propensity of some types to be distorted by outliers."
