Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

GetCorrelation( obj1, obj2 )

Parameters

obj1

-

quantity-with-error

obj2

-

quantity-with-error

Description

• 

The GetCorrelation( obj1, obj2 ) command returns the correlation coefficient between the quantities-with-error obj1 and obj2.

• 

The returned correlation is in the range −1..1.

  

If obj1 and obj2 are the same, 1 is returned.

  

If no correlation is defined between obj1 and obj2 (with SetCorrelation), 0 is returned.

• 

If either or both of the quantities-with-error obj1 and obj2 have functional dependence on other quantities-with-error, Covariance is used to calculate their relative covariance, which is then converted to the correlation coefficient.

  

The relationship between the covariance uy1,y2 and correlation ry1,y2 is

ry1,y2=uy1,y2uy1uy2

  

where uy1 and uy2 are the errors in y1 and y2.
