class Statsample::Bivariate::Pearson

Pearson correlation coefficient ® ¶ ↑

The moment-product Pearson's correlation coefficient, known as 'r' is a measure of bivariate associate between two continous variables.

Usage¶ ↑

a = [1,2,3,4,5,6].to_scale
b = [2,3,4,5,6,7].to_scale
pearson = Statsample::Bivariate::Pearson.new(a,b)
puts pearson.r
puts pearson.t
puts pearson.probability
puts pearson.summary
