| Correlation: Pitfalls and Alternatives | |
Abstract/OtherAbstract
:
|
This article will tell you when it is safe and unproblematic to use correlation in the way that you imagine you can use it, and when you should take care. In particular it will tell you about two fallacies that have claimed many victims. These traps are known to statisticians, but not, we suggest, to the general correlation-using public. We will help you avoid these pitfalls and introduce an alternative approach to understanding and modelling dependency - copulas. |
