Correlation Matrix


A correlation is a single number that describes the degree of relationship between two variables. A Correlation Matrix lists the individual correlations between any two sets of variables.

To locate the correlation for any pair of variables within the matrix, you would need to find the value in the table for the row and column intersection for those two variables. correlation Matrices are quite similar to similarity matrices, except for that correlations have values ranging ONLY from -1 to 1, with -1 representing the least amount of correlation and 1 respresenting the greatest.
