چکیده
There are different ways to quantify the relation between two or more continuous variables. Some researchers use correlation coefficients; others will apply regression methods such as linear regression. In this paper, we show that choice and is not purely a statistical one but largely depends on research aims. Importantly, should always inspect data before using either of methods.

متن کاملLinear Regression and Correlation
In order to calculate confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, it is assumed that the errors are independent and normally distributed with mean zero and variance 2 σ . Given a sample of N observations on X and Y, the method of least squares estimates β0 and β1 as well as various other quantities that describe the precision of the estimates and the goodness-of-fit of the straight line to the d...

متن کاملCorrelation and regression.
In many health-related studies, investigators wish to assess the strength of an association between 2 measured (continuous) variables. For example, the relation between highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and body mass index (BMI) may be of interest. Although BMI is often treated as a categorical variable, eg, underweight, normal, overweight, and obese, a noncategorized version is more ...
