相關係數
相關係數，又稱作 關聯係數（英語：correlation coefficient）是一種相關程度的測量，在統計學上的意義是兩個變數之間的關係。[1]關係係數與「皮爾遜積矩相關係數」並不相同。英國數學家法蘭西斯·高爾頓最先發展了相關概念。

correlation coefficient: A statistic used to show how the scores from one measure relate to scores on a second measure for the same group of individuals. A high value (approaching +1.00) is a strong direct relationship, values near 0.50 are considered moderate and values below 0.30 are considered to show weak relationship. A low negative value (approaching -1.00) is similarly a strong inverse relationship, and values near 0.00 indicate little, if any, relationship.
