Correlation Analysis Regression Analysis
(a) In correlation analysis, we calculate the
correlation coefficient which is a measure of the
degree of covariablity between X and Y
(b) Correlation is merely a tool to ascertain the degree
of relationship between X and Y. We can not assign
cause and effect relationship between X and Y
(a) Regression analysis is done to study the nature of
relationship between X and Y so that we may be able
to predict the value of one on the basis of the other
(b)In regression analysis we take X as the
independent variable and Y as the dependent variable.
This makes the study of cause and effect relation
between X and Y possible
(b) The correlation coefficient measures and reveals the degree of covariablity between X
and Y. It indicates the strength of relationship between X and Y.
(c) A correlation coefficient of ± 1 a perfect positive/negative correlation between X
and Y. A zero coefficient no correlation. Higher the value of r, stronger is the
correlation between X and Y.
(d) The sums needed are: xy, x^2 and y^2, where x = (X – Xbar) and y = (Y
Ybar)
(e) The two methods are: (a) t- test and (b) Z- test.
