Abstract

Correlation is a statistical technique used to assess a possible linear association between two continuous variables. Correlations are useful because they can indicate a predictive relationship that can be exploited in practice. If there is any relation between two variables i.e. when one variable changes the other also changes in the same or in the opposite direction, we say that the two variables are correlated. If it is proved that in a large number of instances two variables, tend always to fluctuate in the same or in the opposite direction then it is established that a relationship exists between the variables. This is called a "Correlation." It means the study of existence, magnitude and direction of the relation between two or more variables.
