Data correlation

Hi everyone,

I have a question about correlation between two data. Here is my sentence:

It is believed that the best correlation between porosity, permeability and pore throat size is established in 35 % mercury saturation.

I am not sure about the “established”. Obtained, found or something else?

Thanks

It does not make any sense. You mention three variables, not two. Correlation measures the degree to which two variables track each other.

  • It does not make any sense.
  • You mention three variables, not two.
  • Correlation measures the degree to which two variables track each other.
  • For example, high income people use more water than low-income people, so we say that water usage is correlated with income.
  • Scatter plots show this kind of correlation: Correlation can also be seen on plots: These two curves show a negative correlation: And these two are positively correlated Companies diversity their products to achieve a stable rather than fluctuating revenue.
