Pearson

Pearson Function

Calculates the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, r, a dimensionless index that ranges from -1.0 to 1.0 inclusive and reflects the extent of a linear relationship between two data sets. The two vectors given as input must be equal in length (that is, must have the same number of arguments).

Syntax

Pearson(vector IndependentValues, vector DependentValues)

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
vector IndependentValuesAny series of numerical values
vector DependentValuesAny series of numerical values having the same number of arguments as the IndependentValues vector

Examples:

Pearson([FusionTestTable.RealColumn],[FusionTestTable.DoubleColumn])

Returns the pearson co-efficient for the given column.
