correlation

correlation — Indicates the linear correlation of this function's or variable's randomness with a previously computed random variable

Content model

correlation :  varID,  corrCoef
     EMPTY

Attributes

varID

Identifies the variable or function output that helps determine the value of this random variable or function.

corrCoef

Indicates the amount of correlation between this variable and the referenced variable. The value should be between −1 and +1; 0 indicates no correlation, +1 indicates perfect correlation and −1 indicates inverse (negative) correlation.

Description

When present, this element indicates the parent function or variable is correlated with the referenced other function or variable in a linear sense and gives the correlation coefficient for determining this function's random value based upon the correlating function(s)'s random value.
