Correlation and Regression
Correlation:
A correlation is a process that reflects the relationship, strength or direction of the
association among two or more variables. At the time of calculating correlation, when the value

comes as a positive number then it means that both the variables are changing in the identical
direction. When the value of correlation comes as negative then it means that the variables are
changing in the opposite directions. It is defined as a statistical measure which states the extent
to which two of the variables are linearly linked and is a common tool for describing simple
relationships without creating a statement regarding cause and effect. Correlation analysis can
reveal meaningful relationships among the various kinds of metrics or groups of metrics.
Information or data regarding such connections can give new insights as well as reveal
interdependencies even if the metrics come from distinct parts of the business.
Example:
Regression:
Regression is defined as a statistical approach that is used in finance, investing as well as
other disciplines which make efforts for ascertaining the strength and character of relationships
between one dependent variable and a series of other variables. Regression analysis in research is
a reliable approach in order to identify that which of the variables are having influence on a topic
of interest. By making use of regression, an individual is allowed to confidently ascertain what
factors matter the most, what factors can be neglected and how such factors impact each other.
This analysis facilitates an organisation in gaining the understanding regarding what their data
points depicts and use them according to it with the assistance of business analytical tools and
techniques for the purpose of making well-informed as well as effective decisions within the
