Background information
Sigmund Freud
(born May 6, 1856—died September 23, 1939), Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis.
Regarded as one of the most important thinkers of the last century, Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. He revolutionized the study of dreams with his magnum opus book “The Interpretation of Dreams”.
He refined the concepts of unconscious state, juvenile sexuality, and subjugation, and also proposed a three-way theory pertaining to the structure of the mind. Notwithstanding the multiple facets of psychoanalysis as it exists today, it can, in almost all fundamental respects, be traced directly to Freud’s early works.

一個例子
很多時候，我們想要知道一件事物與另一 件事物之間的關係（relationship）
而且希望能有個關係指標(index of relationship) 來說明關係強度，指標小關係強度低，指標大 關係強度高；換句話說，需要有個「相關係數」 (coefficient of correlation)
sta correlation analysis
sta correlation analysisSTA (correlation analysis) is a statistical method used to examine the association or relationship between two or more variables. Using this method, one can determine the strength and direction of the relationship between variables and make predictions or draw conclusions based on the results. This article aims to provide a step-by-step understanding of correlation analysis and its applications.Step 1: Understanding Correlation AnalysisCorrelation analysis involves quantitative data and is commonly used in the field of statistics. It measures the relationship between two variables, known as a correlation coefficient, ranging from -1 to +1. The value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, and 0 indicates no correlation.Step 2: Gathering DataTo conduct correlation analysis, one needs a set of paired observations for each variable under consideration. These observations can be collected from various sources, such as surveys, experiments, or existing datasets. It is important to ensure that thedata collected is reliable and representative of the population of interest.Step 3: Calculating the Correlation CoefficientOnce the data is gathered, the next step is to calculate the correlation coefficient. There are different types of correlation coefficients, such as the Pearson correlation coefficient and the Spearman correlation coefficient.The Pearson correlation coefficient is used when the variables are normally distributed and have a linear relationship. It is calculated using the formula:r = (Σ(Xi - X̄)(Yi - Ŷ))/(√(Σ(Xi - X̄)²)√(Σ(Yi - Ŷ)²))Where Xi and Yi are the observed values for variables X and Y, X̄and Ŷare the respective means, and Σdenotes the summation across all observations.The Spearman correlation coefficient is used when the variables do not meet the assumptions of normality or have a non-linear relationship. Instead of using the actual values, it calculates the rank of each observation to determine the relationship.Step 4: Analyzing the Correlation Coefficient's SignificanceOnce the correlation coefficient is calculated, the next step is to determine if the relationship is statistically significant. The significance of correlation can be tested using hypothesis testing with the help of statistical software or statistical tables.The hypothesis testing involves defining the null hypothesis (H0), which assumes no correlation between the variables, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha), which assumes a non-zero correlation. If the calculated correlation coefficient falls within the critical region, the null hypothesis is rejected, indicating a statistically significant relationship.Step 5: Interpreting the Correlation CoefficientAfter determining the significance, it is essential to interpret the correlation coefficient. The sign of the coefficient (+/-) indicates the direction of the relationship. If the coefficient is positive, it implies a positive relationship, i.e., an increase in one variable corresponds to an increase in the other. Conversely, a negative coefficient implies a negative relationship, where an increase in one variable corresponds to a decrease in the other.The magnitude of the correlation coefficient indicates the strength of the relationship. A value close to +1 or -1 suggests a strong correlation, while a value close to 0 indicates a weak or no correlation.Step 6: Drawing Inferences and ApplicationsWith the correlation coefficient and its significance determined, one can draw inferences about the relationship between variables. Correlation analysis is widely used in fields such as economics, social sciences, and healthcare to explore various phenomena and make predictions.For example, in economics, correlation analysis can help determine the relationship between variables such as income and expenditure, interest rates and investments, or population growth and GDP. In social sciences, it can be used to explore correlations between variables such as education level and income, crime rates, and poverty levels. In healthcare, correlation analysis can be used to examine the relationship between variables such as smoking and lung cancer or blood pressure and heart disease.In conclusion, correlation analysis is a valuable statistical tool for examining relationships between variables. By following the steps outlined above, researchers can assess the strength and direction of relationships, determine their significance, and make meaningful inferences. Understanding correlation analysis is crucial for making informed decisions and drawing accurate conclusions in various fields.。
decay of correlation 数学名词
decay of correlation 数学名词Decay of correlation（相关性的衰减）refers to the decrease in correlation between two variables as the distance between them increases. It is a mathematical concept used to quantify the relationship between two variables across different spatial or temporal distances.1. The decay of correlation between rainfall and crop yield was observed as the distance between the two fields increased.雨量与农作物产量之间的相关性随着两个田地之间的距离增加而减弱。
2. The study analyzed the decay of correlation between interest rates and stock market performance over a one-year timespan.该研究分析了利率和股市表现之间的相关性在一年的时间内是如何衰减的。
3. As the distance between two cities increased, thedecay of correlation between their population sizes became more noticeable.随着两个城市之间的距离增加，它们的人口规模之间的相关性衰减变得更加明显。
4. The researchers used statistical methods to determine the decay of correlation between air pollution andrespiratory diseases in different neighborhoods.研究人员使用统计方法来确定不同社区之间空气污染和呼吸道疾病之间的相关性衰减。

Correlation analysis
Correlation coefficient(相关系数)
The definition of Correlation coefficient: It measures the strength and direction of a linear association between two variables.
Correlation coefficient(相关系数)
A correlation coefficient is said to be significant if it reaches the significant level of 0.05, 0.01, or 0.001. (p213) If the probability(出错概率) is bigger than 0.05, the correlation coefficient obtained is regarded as insignificant.

1. The definition of correlation
Correlation(相关性) is a term that refers to the strength of a relationship between two variables. A strong, or high, correlation means that two or more variables have a strong relationship with each other while a weak, or low, correlation means that the variables are hardly related.
相关分析(Correlate)
相关分析（Correlate）Correlation and dependenceIn statistics, correlation and dependence are any of a broad class of statistical relationships between two or more random variables or observed data values.Correlation is computed（用...计算）into what is known as the correlation coefficient（相关系数）, which ranges between -1 and +1. Perfect positive correlation (a correlation co-efficient of +1) implies（意味着）that as one security（证券）moves, either up or down, the other security will move in lockstep（步伐一致的）, in the same direction. Alternatively（同样的）, perfect negative correlation means that if one security moves in either direction the security that is perfectly negatively correlated will move by an equal amount in the opposite（相反的）direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of the securities are said to have no correlation; they are completely random（随意、胡乱）.There are several correlation coefficients, often denoted（表示、指示）ρ or r, measuring（衡量、测量）the degree of correlation. The most common of these is the Pearson correlation coefficient, which is sensitive only to a linear（只进行两变量线性分析）relationship between two variables (which may exist even if one is a nonlinear function of the other).Other correlation coefficients have been developed to be more robust（有效的、稳健）than the Pearson correlation, or more sensitive to nonlinear relationships.Rank（等级）correlation coefficients, such as Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and Kendall's rank correlation coefficient (τ) measure the extent（范围）to which, as one variable increases, the other variable tends to increase, without requiring（需要、命令）that increase to be represented by a linear relationship. If, as the one variable（变量）increases（增加）, the other decreases, the rank correlation coefficients will be negative. It is common to regard these rank correlation coefficients as alternatives to Pearson's coefficient, used either to reduce the amount of calculation or to make the coefficient less sensitive to non-normality in distributions（分布）. However, this view has little mathematical basis, as rank correlation coefficients measure a different type of relationship than the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and are best seen as measures of a different type of association, rather than as alternative measure of the population correlation coefficient.Common misconceptions（错误的想法）Correlation and causality（因果关系）The conventional（大会）dictum（声明）that "correlation does not imply causation" means that correlation cannot be used to infer a causal relationship between the variables.Correlation and linearityFour sets of data with the same correlation of 0.816The Pearson correlation coefficient indicates the strength of a linear relationship between two variables, but its value generally does not completely characterize their relationship. In particular, if the conditional mean of Y given X, denoted E(Y|X), is not linear in X, the correlation coefficient will not fully determine the form ofE(Y|X).The image on the right shows scatterplots（散点图）of Anscombe's quartet, a set of four different pairs of variables created by Francis Anscombe. The four y variables have the same mean (7.5), standard deviation (4.12), correlation (0.816) and regression line (y = 3 + 0.5x). However, as can be seen on the plots, the distribution of the variables is very different. The first one (top left) seems to be distributed normally, and corresponds to what one would expect when considering two variables correlated and following the assumption of normality. The second one (top right) is not distributed normally; while an obvious relationship between the two variables can be observed, it is not linear. In this case the Pearson correlation coefficient does not indicate that there is an exact functional relationship: only the extent to which that relationship can be approximated（大概）by a linear relationship. In the third case (bottom left), the linear relationship is perfect, except for one outlier which exerts enough influence to lower the correlation coefficient from 1 to0.816. Finally, the fourth example (bottom right) shows another example when one outlier（异常值）is enough to produce a high correlation coefficient, even though the relationship between the two variables is not linear.(离群值可降低、也可以增加数据的相关性。

研究思路和方法英语
研究思路和方法英语Research is a systematic and rigorous process of inquiry that aims to expand our understanding of the world around us. It involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data to answer specific questions or test hypotheses. Researchers employ a variety of approaches and methods to conduct their investigations, each with its own strengths and limitations. In this essay, we will explore some of the key research approaches and methods commonly used in various fields of study.One of the primary research approaches is the quantitative approach, which focuses on the collection and analysis of numerical data. This approach is often associated with the scientific method, which involves the formulation of hypotheses, the design of experiments or surveys, and the statistical analysis of the resulting data. Quantitative research is particularly useful for identifying patterns, trends, and relationships between variables, and it can provide precise and objective measurements. Examples of quantitative research methods include experiments, surveys, and secondary data analysis.In contrast, the qualitative approach emphasizes the understanding of human experiences, behaviors, and social phenomena. This approach typically involves the collection of non-numerical data, such as interviews, observations, and document analysis. Qualitative research aims to gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter, often by exploring the perspectives and experiences of the participants. This approach is particularly useful for understanding complex social and cultural phenomena, and it can provide rich and nuanced insights. Examples of qualitative research methods include ethnography, phenomenology, and grounded theory.Another important research approach is the mixed-methods approach, which combines elements of both quantitative and qualitative research. This approach allows researchers to take advantage of the strengths of both approaches, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the research problem. Mixed-methods research can involve the concurrent or sequential collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, with the goal of triangulating the findings and gaining a more complete picture of the phenomenon under study.In addition to these broad research approaches, there are numerous specific research methods that researchers can employ. One of the most common is the case study, which involves an in-depth examination of a single or small number of cases. Case studies canprovide detailed and context-specific insights, and they are particularly useful for exploring complex, real-world phenomena. Another popular method is the survey, which involves the collection of data from a sample of a larger population using questionnaires or interviews. Surveys can provide a broad overview of attitudes, behaviors, and characteristics, and they are often used in fields such as social science and market research.Experimental research is another widely used method, particularly in the natural sciences and psychology. Experiments involve the manipulation of one or more independent variables to observe their effect on a dependent variable, with the goal of establishing causal relationships. Experiments can be conducted in controlled laboratory settings or in natural settings, and they can be either observational or interventional.Correlational research is another approach that focuses on identifying relationships between variables, without necessarily establishing causality. This method is often used in fields such as psychology and sociology, where it can be difficult to establish causal relationships due to the complexity of human behavior and social phenomena.Finally, secondary data analysis involves the use of existing data sets, such as census data or government records, to answer new researchquestions. This approach can be cost-effective and time-efficient, and it can provide valuable insights that may not be available from primary data collection.Each of these research approaches and methods has its own strengths and limitations, and the choice of approach and method will depend on the specific research question, the available resources, and the researcher's philosophical and methodological orientation. Ultimately, the goal of research is to expand our understanding of the world and to inform decision-making and problem-solving in a wide range of fields.。
correlation
correlationCorrelationIntroductionCorrelation is a statistical measure that determines the degree to which two variables are related to each other. It is an important concept in many fields, including statistics, economics, social sciences, and healthcare. In this document, we will explore the concept of correlation, its types, and its significance in various applications.What is Correlation?Correlation quantifies the statistical relationship between two variables. It measures how changes in one variable correspond to changes in another variable. Correlation is typically represented by the correlation coefficient, which ranges from -1 to +1. A positive correlation indicates a direct relationship, while a negative correlation indicates an inverse relationship. A correlation coefficient close to zero indicates a weak or no relationship between the variables.Types of CorrelationThere are three main types of correlation: positive correlation, negative correlation, and zero correlation.1. Positive Correlation: When two variables increase or decrease together, they are said to have a positive correlation. For example, there is a positive correlation between the amount of study time and test scores. As the study time increases, the test scores also tend to increase. The correlation coefficient for a positive correlation ranges from 0 to +1.2. Negative Correlation: In contrast to a positive correlation, a negative correlation exists when one variable increases while the other decreases. For instance, there is a negative correlation between the number of hours spent watching TV and academic performance. As the hours spent watching TV increase, the academic performance tends to decrease. The correlation coefficient for a negative correlation ranges from 0 to -1.3. Zero Correlation: Zero correlation, as the name suggests, implies no relationship between the variables. The changes in one variable do not correspond to any changes in the othervariable. When the correlation coefficient is close to zero, it indicates a weak or no correlation.Significance of CorrelationCorrelation has several practical applications in different fields.1. Statistics: Correlation analysis is used to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between variables. It helps statisticians to understand the patterns and trends in data. Correlation coefficients are widely used in regression analysis and predictive modeling.2. Economics: In economics, correlation analysis helps to identify relationships between different economic variables such as inflation and unemployment rates, interest rates and investment, or GDP and consumer spending. Understanding these relationships is essential for making informed economic decisions.3. Social Sciences: Correlation is used in social sciences to study various phenomena, such as the relationship between education and income, crime rates and poverty, or healthbehaviors and disease outcomes. Correlation can provide insights into social trends and patterns.4. Healthcare: Correlation plays a crucial role in healthcare research. It helps to identify risk factors, assess treatment effectiveness, and understand the relationship between lifestyle choices and health outcomes. For example, studying the correlation between smoking and lung cancer can help healthcare professionals develop effective prevention strategies.ConclusionCorrelation is a powerful statistical tool that measures the relationship between two variables. It helps us understand how changes in one variable relate to changes in another variable. By analyzing correlation coefficients, we can determine the strength and direction of the relationship. Correlation has wide-ranging applications in statistics, economics, social sciences, healthcare, and other fields. Understanding correlation is essential for making informed decisions and drawing meaningful conclusions from data.。
