     Description

    Correlation indicates the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two random variables.

    The correlation is 1 in the case of an increasing linear relationship, -1 in the case of a decreasing linear relationship, and some value in between in all other cases, indicating the degree of linear dependence between the variables. The closer the coefficient is to either -1 or 1, the stronger the correlation between the variables. If the two variables are completely independent their correlation is zero.
