1 The Big Picture Correlation Bret Hanlon and Bret Larget Department of Statistics Universit of Wisconsin Madison December 6, We have just completed a length series of lectures on ANOVA where we considered models with a normall distributed response variable where the mean was determined b one or more categorical eplanator variables. We net consider simple linear regression models where there is again a normall distributed response variable, but where the means are determined b a linear function of a single quantitative eplanator variable. Before developing ideas about regression, we need to eplore scatter plots to displa two quantitative variables and correlation to numericall quantif the linear relationship between two quantitative variables. Correlation / 5 Correlation Correlation The Big Picture / 5 Data We will consider data sets of two quantitative random variables such as in this eample. age is the age of a male lion in ears; proportion.black is the proportion of a lion s nose that is black. age proportion.black Scatter Plots A scatter plot is a graph that displas two quantitative variables. Each observation is a single point. One variable we will call X is plotted on the horizontal ais. A second variable we call Y is plotted on the vertical ais. If we plan to use a model where one variable is a response variable that depends on an eplanator variable, X should be the eplanator variable and Y should be the response. Correlation Correlation The Big Picture 3 / 5 Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 4 / 5
2 Lion Eample Lion Data Scatter Plot Case Stud The noses of male lions get blacker as the age. This is potentiall useful as a means to estimate the age of a lion with unknown age. (How one measures the blackness of a lion s nose in the wild without getting eaten is an ecellent question!) We displa a scatter plot of age versus blackness of 3 lions of known age (Eample 7. from the tetbook). The choice of X and Y is for the desired purpose of estimating age from observable blackness. It is also reasonable to consider blackness as a response to age. Age (ears) Proportion Black in Nose Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 5 / 5 Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 6 / 5 Observations We see that age and blackness in the nose are positivel associated. As one variable increases, the other also tends to increase. However, there is not a perfect relationship between the two variables, as the points do not fall eactl on a straight line or simple curve. We can imagine other scatter plots where points ma be more or less tightl clustered around a line (or other curve). Statisticians have invented a statistic called the correlation coefficient to quantif the strength of a linear relationship. Before developing simple linear regression models, we will develop our understanding of correlation. Correlation Definition The correlation coefficient r is measure of the strength of the linear relationship between two variables. r = = n n ( )( ) Xi X Yi Ȳ i= s X s Y n i= (X i X )(Y i Ȳ ) n i= (X i X ) n i= (Y i Ȳ ) Notice that the correlation is not affected b linear transformations of the data (such as changing the scale of measurement) as each variable is standardized b substracting the mean and dividing b the standard deviation. Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 7 / 5 Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 8 / 5
3 Observations about the Formula r = n n ( )( ) Xi X Yi Ȳ i= s X Notice that observations where X i and Y i are either both greater or both less than their respective means will contribute positive values to the sum, but observations where one is positive and the other is negative will contribute negative values to the sum. Hence, the correlation coeficient can be positive or negative. Its value will be positive if there is a stronger trend for X and Y to var together in the same direction (high with high, low with low) than vice versa. Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 9 / 5 s Y Additional Observations about the Formula r = n i= (X i X )(Y i Ȳ )/ (n ) s X s Y If X = Y, the numerator would be the sample variance. When X and Y are different variables, the epression in the numerator is called the sample covariance. The covariance has units of the product of the units of X and Y. Dividing the covariance b the two standard deviations makes the correlation coeficient unitless. Also note that if X = Y, then the numerator and the denominator would both be equal to the variance of X, and r would be. This suggests that r = is the largest possible value (which is true, but requires more advanced mathematics than we assume to prove). If Y = X, then r =, and this is the smallest that r can be. Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots / 5 Scolding the Tetbook Authors Scatter plots Also note that throughout Chapters 6 and 7, the tetbook authors fail to include subscripts with their summation equations, which is inecusable. For eample, (X X ) should be n (X i X ) i= so that ou, the reader, knows that values of X i change (potentiall) from term to term, but X is constant. The net several graphs will show scatter plots of sample data with different correlation coefficients so that ou can begin to develop an intuition for the meaning of the numerical values. In addition, note that ver different graphs can have the same numerical correlation. It is important to look at graphs and not onl the value of r!

5 r = r = 4 3 Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 7 / 5 Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 8 / 5 Comment r =.97 Notice that when r =, this means that there is no strong linear relationship between X and Y, but there could be a strong nonlinear relationship between X and Y. You need to plot the data and not just calculate r! r will be close to zero whenever the sum of squared residuals around the best fitting straight line is about the same as the sum of squared residuals around the best fitting horizontal line Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots 9 / 5 Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots / 5
6 Comment r =.97 Notice that when r is close to (but not eactl one), there is a strong linear relationship between X and Y with a positive slope. However, there could be a stronger nonlinear relationship between X and Y. You need to plot the data and not just calculate r! r will be close to one whenever the sum of squared residuals around the best fitting straight line with a positive slope is much smaller than sum of squared residuals around the best fitting horizontal line Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots / 5 Correlation Correlation Scatter Plots / 5 Comment Summar of Correlation Notice that when r is close to (but not eactl), there is a strong linear relationship between X and Y with a negative slope. However, there could be a stronger nonlinear relationship between X and Y. You need to plot the data and not just calculate r! r will be close to whenever the sum of squared residuals around the best fitting straight line with a negtive slope is much smaller than sum of squared residuals around the best fitting horizontal line. The correlation coefficient r measures the strength of the linear relationship between two quantitative variables, on a scale from to. The correlation coefficient is or onl when the data lies perfectl on a line with negative or positive slope, respectivel. If the correlation coefficient is near one, this means that the data is tightl clustered around a line with a positive slope. Correlation coefficients near indicate weak linear relationships. However, r does not measure the strength of nonlinear relationships. If r =, rather than X and Y being unrelated, it can be the case that the have a strong nonlinear relationshsip. If r is close to, it ma still be the case that a nonlinear relationship is a better description of the data than a linear relationship.
