What is Correlation? | Pearson's Correlation Coefficient & its Interpretation

📊 From Pearson's Coefficient to Anscombe's Quartet 📈
In this video, we'll explore the basics of correlation, including positive and negative correlations, and also the relationship between covariance and correlation.
One of the key points we'll emphasize is the crucial distinction between correlation and causation. While correlation measures the strength of a relationship between variables, it does not imply causation, and we'll explain why this distinction is vital in interpreting correlation results correctly.
Additionally, we'll uncover the assumptions underlying correlation analysis, shedding light on the conditions that must be met for valid correlation measurements. To deepen your understanding, we'll demonstrate how to manually calculate Pearson's correlation coefficient with an example and then replicate the calculation using the powerful NumPy library in Python 🐍, showcasing how computational tools can simplify complex statistical tasks.
To cap off our exploration, we'll introduce you to Anscombe's quartet, a fascinating example highlighting the importance of visualizing data when interpreting correlation results. Through this example, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the nuances of correlation analysis and the insights it can provide.
Happy Learning! 🌟
