TYPES OF CORRELATION
1. Simple (Linear) correlation (2 variables only) : The correlation between the given two
variables. It is denoted by rxy
2. Partial correlation (more than 2 variables): The correlation between any two
variables while removing the effect of other variables. It is denoted by rxy.z …
3. Multiple correlation (more than 2 variables) : The correlation between a group of
variables and a variable which is not included in that group. It is denoted by Ry.(xz…)
In this chapter, we study simple correlation only, multiple correlation and partial
correlation involving three or more variables will be studied in higher classes .
Simple correlation or Linear correlation
Here, we are dealing with data involving two related variables and generally we assign a
symbol ‘ x ’ to scores of one variable and symbol ‘y ’ to scores of the other variable. There
are five types in simple correlation. They are
1) Positive correlation (Direct correlation)
2) Negative correlation (Inverse correlation)
3) Uncorrelated
4) Perfect positive correlation
5) Perfect negative correlation
1) Positive correlation: (Direct correlation)
The variables are said to be positively correlated if larger values of x are associated with
larger values of y and smaller values of x are associated with smaller values of y. In other
words, if both the variables are varying in the same direction then the correlation is said
to be positive.
In other words, if one variable increases, the other variable (on an average) also
increases or if one variable decreases, the other (on an average)variable also decreases.
For example,
i) Income and savings
ii) Marks in Mathematics and Marks in Statistics. (i.e.,Direct relationship pattern exists).
2) Negative correlation: (Inverse correlation)
The variables are said to be negatively correlated if smaller values of x are associated
with larger values of y or larger values x are associated with smaller values of y. That is
the variables varying in the opposite directions is said to be negatively correlated. In
other words, if one variable increases the other variable decreases and vice versa.
For example,
i) Price and demand
ii) Unemployment and purchasing power
3) Uncorrelated:
The variables are said to be uncorrelated if smaller values of x are associated with
smaller or larger values of y and larger values of x are associated with larger or smaller
values of y. If the two variables do not associate linearly, they are said to be uncorrelated.
Here r = 0.
Important note: Uncorrelated does not imply independence. This means “do not
interpret as the two variables are independent instead interpret as there is no specific
linear pattern exists but there may be non linear relationship”.
4) Perfect Positive Correlation
If the values of x and y increase or decrease proportionately then they are said to have
perfect positive correlation.
5) Perfect Negative Correlation
If x increases and y decreases proportionately or if x decreases and y increases
proportionately, then they are said to have perfect negative correlation.
Correlation Analysis
The purpose of correlation analysis is to find the existence of linear relationship between
the variables. However, the method of calculating correlation coefficient depends on the
types of measurement scale, namely, ratio scale or ordinal scale or nominal scale.
