PPT-Regression Correlation vs. Causation

Correlation A statistical way to measure the relationship between two sets of data Means that both things are observed at the same time Causation Means that one thing will cause the other You can have correlation without causation. If two variables A and B are correlated with high statistical signi64257cance it does not necessarily imply that A causes B nor that B causes A Hence the high correlation between birth rate and number of storks in variously industri alized European c and regression. Scatter plots. A scatter plot is a graph that shows the relationship between the observations for two data series in two dimensions.. Scatter plots are formed by using the data from two different series to plot coordinates along the . Cum hoc ergo propter hoc:. . “With this, therefore because of this”. Correlation. A . relation existing between phenomena or things or between mathematical or statistical variables which tend to vary, be associated, or occur together in a way not expected on the basis of chance .
