WHAT DOES CORRELATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Correlation and dependence

In statistics, dependence is any statistical relationship between two random variables or two sets of data. Correlation refers to any of a broad class of statistical relationships involving dependence. Familiar examples of dependent phenomena include the correlation between the physical statures of parents and their offspring, and the correlation between the demand for a product and its price. Correlations are useful because they can indicate a predictive relationship that can be exploited in practice. For example, an electrical utility may produce less power on a mild day based on the correlation between electricity demand and weather. In this example there is a causal relationship, because extreme weather causes people to use more electricity for heating or cooling; however, statistical dependence is not sufficient to demonstrate the presence of such a causal relationship. Formally, dependence refers to any situation in which random variables do not satisfy a mathematical condition of probabilistic independence.

Definition of correlate in the English dictionary

The first definition of correlate in the dictionary is to place or be placed in a mutual, complementary, or reciprocal relationship. Other definition of correlate is to establish or show a correlation. Correlate is also having a mutual, complementary, or reciprocal relationship.
