2 Reminder: Student Instructional Rating Surveys You have until May 7 th to fill out the student instructional rating surveys at The survey should be available on any device with a full-featured web browser. Please take the time to fill it out. Your answers: Will be anonymous Will help me to improve my teaching strategies and the structure of the course Will help the department in planning and designing future courses Will be used by the university in promotion, tenure, and reappointment decisions
3 Correlation Correlation: Relationships between Variables So far, nearly all of our discussion of inferential statistics has focused on testing for differences between group means However, researchers are often interested in graded relationships between variables, such as how well one variable can predict another Examples: How well do SAT scores predict a student s GPA? How is the amount of time a student takes to complete an exam related to her grade on that exam? How well do IQ scores correlate with income? How does a child s height correlate with his running speed? How does class size affect student performance?
4 Correlation: Relationships between Variables Correlation is a statistical technique used to describe the relationship between two variables. Usually the two variables are simply observed as they exist in the environment (with no experimental manipulation a correlational study) However, results from experimental studies (in which one of the variables is systematically manipulated) can also be analyzed using correlation

11 Characteristics of the Correlation A Correlation coefficient is a single number describing the relationship between two variables. This number describes: The direction of the relationship Variables sharing a positive correlation tend to change in the same direction (e.g., height and weight). As the value of one of the variables (height) increases, the value of other variable (weight) also increases Variables sharing a negative correlation tend to change in opposite directions (e.g., snowfall and beach visitors). As the value of one of the variables (amount of snowfall) increases, the value of the other variable (number of beach visitors) decreases. The strength of the relationship Variables that share a strong correlation (close to +1 or -1) strongly predict one another, while variables that share a weak correlation (near 0) do not.
12 Positive versus Negative Correlations Positive Correlation Negative Correlation
13 Strong versus Weak Correlations
14 Correlation is not Causation
15 Possible Sources of Correlation The relationship is causal. Manipulating the predictor variable causes an increase or decrease in the criterion variable. E.g., leg strength and sprinting speed The causal relationship is backwards (reverse causality). Manipulating the criterion variable causes changes in the predictor variable The two variables work together systematically to cause an effect The relationship may be due to one or more confounding variables Changes in both variables reflect the effect of a confounding variable E.g., intelligence as an explanation for correlated performance on different exams E.g., increasing density in cities increases the number of physicians and the number of crimes
16 Measuring Correlation: Pearson s r To compute a correlation you need a pair of scores, X and Y, for each individual in the sample. The most commonly used measure of correlation is Pearson s product-moment correlation coefficient, or more simply, Pearson s r. Conceptually, Pearson s r is a ratio between the degree to which two variables (X and Y) vary together and the degree to which they vary separately. r co-variability( XY, ) variability( X) variability( Y)
17 The Covariance The term in the numerator of Pearson s r is the covariance, an unnormalized statistic representing the degree to which two variables (X and Y) vary together. cov XY X M Y M X n 1 Y Mathematically, it is the average of the product of the deviations of two paired variables The covariance depends both on how consistently X and Y tend to vary together and on the individual variability of the variables (X and Y).
18 The Covariance Notice that the formula for covariance looks a lot like the formula for variance: s 2 X 2 X M X M X M n1 n1 X X X cov XY X M Y M X n 1 Y
19 The Covariance Moreover, they share a similar computational formula: s SS ; where SS n 1 2 X 2 X X X 2 X X X XX n n cov XY SPXY ; where n 1 SP XY XY XY n
20 Computing Pearson s r Pearson s r is computed by dividing by the product of the standard deviations of each of the variables This removes the effect of the variability of the individual variables r cov XY s s SP XY SS SS X Y X Y
21 Computing Pearson s r: Example X Y
22 Computing Pearson s r: Example X Y XY X = 30 Y = 20 XY = 148 X 2 = 244 Y 2 = 96 Compute SS X, SS Y, & SP XY : Compute r: SS SS SP X Y XY X X N 5 Y Y N 5 X Y XY N r SPXY SS SS X Y
23 Computing Pearson s r: Example Hypothesis testing for r: The null hypothesis is that the population correlation coefficient ρ = 0 The alternative hypothesis is that ρ 0
24 Critical values for Pearson s r Level of Significance for One-Tailed Test Level of Significance for Two-Tailed Test df = n
25 Computing Pearson s r: Example Hypothesis testing for r: The null hypothesis is that the population correlation coefficient ρ = 0 The alternative hypothesis is that ρ 0 Note that you can also compute r crit using the t distribution table: tcrit ( df ) rcrit ( df ) ; df N 2 df t 2 crit
26 t-distribution Table t One-tailed test α/2 -t t Two-tailed test α α/2 Level of significance for one-tailed test Level of significance for two-tailed test df
27 Computing Pearson s r: Example tcrit ( df ) rcrit ( df ) ; df N df t ( df ) tcrit 2 crit (3) r crit tcrit df t crit 0.878
28 Linear Correlation: Assumptions 1. Linearity Assumes that the relationship between the paired scores is best described by a straight line 2. Normality Assumes that the marginal score distributions, their joint distribution, and any conditional distributions are normally distributed 3. Homoscedasticity Assumes that the variability around the regression line is homogeneous across different score values
29 Other Correlation Coefficients Spearman s correlation coefficient (r s ) for ranked data As the name suggests, Spearman s correlation is used when the scores for both X and Y consist of (or have been converted to) ordinal ranks The point biserial correlation coefficient (r pb ) This correlation is used when one of the scores is continuous and the other is dichotomous, taking on one of only two possible values The phi correlation coefficient (r ϕ ) The phi correlation is used when both scores are dichotomous All of the above can be computed in the same manner as Pearson s correlation.
