In probability theory , two random variable s being Pearson product moment correlation coefficient uncorrelated does not imply their statistical independence independence . In some contexts, uncorrelatedness implies at least pairwise independence as when the random variables involved have Bernoulli distribution s . It is sometimes mistakenly thought that one context in which uncorrelatedness implies independence is when the random variables involved are normal distribution normally distributed . However, this is incorrect if the variables are merely marginally normally distributed but not multivariate normal distribution jointly normally distributed . Suppose two random variables X and Y are jointly normally distributed. That is the same as saying that the random vector X , Y has a multivariate normal distribution . It means that the joint probability distribution of X and Y is such that for any two constant i.e., non random scalars a and b , the random variable aX bY is normally distributed. In that case if X and Y are uncorrelated, i.e., their covariance cov X , Y is zero, then they are independent. However , it is possible for two random variables X and Y to be so distributed jointly that each one alone is marginally normally distributed, and they are uncorrelated, but they are not independent examples are given below. Examples A symmetric example Suppose X has a normal distribution with expected value 0 and variance 1. Let W 1 or &minus 1, each with probability 1 2, and assume W is independent of X . Let Y WX .

Notably, correlation is dimensionless while covariance is in units obtained by multiplying the units of the two variables. The covariance of a variable with itself i.e. X Y is called the variance . The correlation of a variable with itself is always 1 except in the degenerate case where the two variances are zero, in which case the correlationdoes not exist .

These distributions depend on the joint distribution of the pair of random quantities X , Y when the values are assumed independent across different pairs. In the case of a time series, the distributions depend on the joint distributions of the whole time series.

Merge to Neural coding discuss Talk Neural coding Merger possibilities date July 2010 The correlation coding model of neuron al firing claims that correlations between action potential s, or spikes , within a spike train may carry additional information above and beyond the simple timing of the spikes. It has been theoretically demonstrated that correlation between spike trains can only reduce, and never increase, the total mutual information present in the two spike trains about a stimulus feature. ref KO Johnson, J Neurophysiol. 1980 Jun 43 6 1793 815. ref Any degree of correlation reduces the total entropy thus, by Fisher information Fisher s Information Theorem , correlations can only reduce information. However, this does not prevent correlations from carrying information not present in the average firing rate of two pairs of neurons. A good example of this exists in the pentobarbital anesthetized marmoset auditory cortex, in which a pure tone causes an increase in the number of correlated spikes, but not an increase in the mean firing rate, of pairs of neurons. ref Nature. 1996 Jun 13 381 6583 610 3 ref Contrast this with independent spike coding .

The key to correlation trading is understanding the principle of Diversification finance diversification that, given some expected return, the volatility of a portfolio of securities is less than or equal to the volatility of a single security in that portfolio based on Modern portfolio theory . The lower the correlation among the individual securities, the lower the overall volatility of the entire portfolio.

In statistics , an ecological correlation is a correlation between two variables that are group mean s, in contrast to a correlation between two variables that describe individuals. For example, one might study the correlation between physical activity and weight among sixth grade children. A study at the individual level might make use of 100 children, then measure both physical activity and weight the correlation between the two variables would be at the individual level. By contrast, another study might make use of 100 classes of sixth grade students, then measure the mean physical activity and the mean weight of each of the 100 classes. A correlation between these group means would be an example of an ecological correlation. Because most natural phenomena are spatially autocorrelated groupings are often spatial, sometimes they are categorical instead. Assuming that what holds true for the group also holds true for the individual is often called the ecological fallacy . When the fallacy can be avoided, some researchers suggest that the ecological correlation gives a better picture of the outcome of public policy actions, thus they recommend the ecological correlation over the individual level correlation for this purpose Lubinski & Humphreys, 1996 .

In mathematics, the correlation immunity of a Boolean function is a measure of the degree to which its outputs are uncorrelated with some subset of its inputs. Specifically, a Boolean function is said to be correlation immune of order m if every subset of m or fewer variables in math x 1,x 2, ldots,x n math is statistically independent of the value of math f x 1,x 2, ldots,x n math . Definition A function math f mathbb F 2 n rightarrow mathbb F 2 math is math k math th order correlation immune if for any independent math n math binary random variables math X 0 ldots X n 1 math , the random variable math Z f X 0, ldots,X n 1 math is independent from any random vector math X i 1 ldots X i k math with math 0 leq i 1 ldots i k n math . Results in cryptography When used in a stream cipher as a combining function for linear feedback shift register s, a Boolean function with low order correlation immunity is more susceptible to a correlation attack than a function with correlation immunity of high order . Siegenthaler showed that the correlation immunity m of a Boolean function of algebraic degree d of n variables satisfies m d n for a given set of input variables, this means that a high algebraic degree will restrict the maximum possible correlation immunity. Furthermore, if the function is balanced then m d n &minus 1. ref name Siegenthaler cite journal author T.
