Hi Josh Thanks a lot for the wonderful work. it helps learners a lot. My query: At 9 : 08, it is mentioned p = 2.2 * 10 ^ -16 means low probability that a randomly selected point has similarly strong relationship. Does it mean to say that the hypothesis or prediction (line through the data points) of the trend cannot generalize with respect new data point a randomly selected data point? Is that what a low p means to say? At the same time a low p means high confidence level in the trend which means that high confidence level implies that a randomly selected that will have similarly stronger relationship? Let me please know if I am missing some point.
@@sunilkumarsamji8507 No. The p-value tells us that the probability that random noise could create the relationship we observed, or a stronger relationship. When you have small p-value, that means the probability that the relationship we observed is due to noise is small. This means we can have confidence that new observations will behave similarly to what we have seen before, rather than completely randomly. Does that make sense?
@@statquest Thanks for your amazing videos. I am watchng them all to try to catch up in statistics for my master degree in geology. In this video, I am unsure on how you calculated the p-values. Can you please explain a little ?

I am so thankful to you!!! I tried learning statistics multiple times in my life and never succeded with any source. I discovered your stat quests about a week ago and I already feel so comfortable with many concepts in statistics! Huge thanks.
I have yet to get into most of these concepts in my statistics major, but I am so thankful to have these bite-sized informational videos with lots of visual explanations to explain each concept so I can start practicing and studying machine learning early. Thank you so much for every single video you put out. Truly a blessing.
Thanks! Great summary at 9:00 Correlation strength nothing to do with slope, but with how many points the line goes through. Can have correlation of 1 with large slope or small slope as long as the points lie on a line. 14:00 equation cov(x,y) in previous video
I'm very grateful to all of your videos. I want to support you but I am a student in 3rd world country. Even I get capable enough I'll surely contribute to this great project! Thank you
you just explained this better than i ever heard. im a phd student (who for some reason wasn't given a decent statscourse through his master degree in robotics engineering. Needless to say, statistics are good for science)
your video makes it really easy to understand(even my english is not really strong , I can still understand almost all of them) , thank you from Thailand
How good you r at this. I tried really hard to understand what it this when i've been in university. but failed. Because there was no explanation why we need this. Only the words that it is "how x related to y"... I figured out what is it actually only 7 years later... Thanks a lot man
@Josh, it is great you actually put the text on the screen, I cannot play sound but I can still follow closely what you are saying. Great videos, I hope you will later dive into more advanced topics in time series analysis (unit roots, ARIMA, GARCH, etc). Pls keep it up!
If you want to have a super deep understanding on t-tests and ANOVA, you should check out my StatQuest videos on Linear Models: ua-cam.com/play/PLblh5JKOoLUIzaEkCLIUxQFjPIlapw8nU.html
You might be referring to a t-test for slope. You would need to calculate a sample regression line using the data and then obtain a p value by performing a test on the data with some null hypothesis.
Thank you for your amazing video! Could you explain how to calculate the p-value in this video (such as 12:30). I have watched your p-value, but still do not know how to use it in this video's examples' calculation. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi, Josh. Nice to meet you! I am Tai from Taipei, Taiwan. From the video you mentioned in @7:42, can we say that the probability of a random dot on a random line is equal to the proportion of a line to the 2-D plain, which is the area of a line/area of a plain = 0/1? As we are interested in the probability of a random dot on a random line, it's actually the same as asking the chance of the dot on the line/the chance of the dot on the whole plain. As a line is 1-D, and the plain is 2-D, the proportion is 0. Hence, the probability of a random dot on a random line is equal to 0.
Still getting this clear in my mind. ..At 13:11 you say that adding data (and a decreased p value) increases our confidence in our guess. I think this may be misleading because it suggests that b smaller p values mean more accurate guesses. I would rather say that smaller p value means more confidence that we are accurately seeing the QUALITY of the guesses we can make (not the guess itself, which is indicated by the correlation value). So with a weak correlation, smaller p value means I am more certain that there is a weak relationship and that my guess will be poor I hope that makes sense. Thanks for a great series
What I was trying to say was in the picture on the left, we can't be sure if adding more data would give us a totally different correlation value, so we have low confidence in it. In the picture on the right, we have enough data to be confident that the correlation value will not change much with additional data.
Dear professor, at 12:57 in respect to the picture on the left, you said "increase the sample size ,don't increase the correlation". I have a different opinion about the statement. Because that at starting if I have two dots, so no doubt the correlation of the straight line is equal to 1,and P-value =1.then I add randomly some dots to the graph, well the correlation value will be changed , and so the P-value will do .thus, the P-value just tell us if there is a trend or not ,don't tell you how much the difference and how accurate the trend you find close to the actual of the stuff . Alternatively, the accurateness of trend or model you find depends on not only the amount of dots ,but also the development of technology, right?@@statquest

First time hearing a female voice on your channel, and it's hilarious. Anyway, thanks for all of your videos, it helps me survive throughout my statistic course
It can be, but it's not as easy (however, modern neural networks can fit a squiggly line to just about anything. For details, see: ua-cam.com/video/zxagGtF9MeU/v-deo.html ). When we use squiggly lines, we use R^2 instead of Pearson's Correlation because Pearson's correlation is explicitly defined for straight lines.
Hi, great video. Can you please provide additional guidance on the following: a. How do you quantitatively determine the P-value for a correlation? b. What's the difference, both formulaically and conceptually between R2, Correlation, and Beta/coefficient in a regression?
Hi. Your explanation was perfectly fine. I have a doubt at 16:20, shouldn't it be "That means that there is 3% chance that random data could produce a weak relationship, or weaker". or "That means that there is 97% chance that random data could produce a strong relationship, or stronger". Because smaller the p value, stronger the correlation.
The video is correct. p-values are kind of tricky, and to learn more about how to interpret them, you can check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/vemZtEM63GY/v-deo.html Also, a small p-value doesn't mean a strong correlation. We could have a weak correlation, like 0.1, and still have a small p-value.
Hey nice video! In wikipedia there is also a "non-pearson" corelation, that aims to center data points around the origin, and calculate correlation with the use of covarianve in the form of the dot product with respect to vector norm of data points.
Triple Bam!! Thanks for the great lecture, although I think the p-Value not only depend on the amount of data we have, but also depend on the strength of relationship. For example, given the same amount of data, the chance to generate stronger relationship from random points is smaller for higher correlation than lower correlation.
Yes, that's sometimes true, but not always (for example, if your sample size = 2), so I decided to focus on the things that are always true in my video, and that is Correlation is determined by the strength of the relationship and p-values are determined by sample size. In other words, if the sample size is too small you will never have a small p-value, and if the sample size is huge, then it doesn't matter what the correlation is, the p-value will probably be significant. For example, if we have any 2 data points, we can draw a line through them, and correlation = 1, however, the p-value = 1. In contrast, if we have enough data, it doesn't matter how close the correlation is to 0, we can still have a significant p-value.
Awesome video again! But just a question about 15: 07 - 15:13, regarding "When the data all fall on a straight line with a positive or negative slope, then the covariance and the product of the square roots of the variance terms are the same and the division gives us 1 or -1, depending on the slope", I don't think I fully get it intuitively. So how could we know the absolute value of nominator and denominators are the same without calculation?
Unfortunately the mathematics that show why correlation is limited to a maximum value of 1 and a minimum value of -1 are quite complicated, which is why I glossed over it in the video.
I watched it as background music so not sure if this is already addressed: I think it might be worth mentioning that here "relationship" refers to "linear relationship". Otherwise, e.g. data generated by=x^2 on (-1,1) will get 0 correlation but obviously have a relationship. Relationship sounds more corresponding to "(in)dependence".
