Correlation and Coefficient of Determination
Correlation and coefficient of determination are vital statistical tools used to measure the relationship between two variables. Correlation quantifies the strength and direction of this relationship, indicating how closely the variables move together. Meanwhile, the coefficient of determination, often denoted as \( R^2 \), explains the proportion of the variance in one variable that is predictable from the other variable. These metrics are fundamental in various fields, from finance to scientific research, providing insights into the dependencies and predictive power between different sets of data.
