Input columnsIt refers to the data representing one of the variables being analysed.You can select two or more Numerical variables.

Example of Pearson Correlation

Consider an HR_Employee_Attrition dataset with 1470 records. A snippet of input data is shown below.


In the Properties pane of Pearson Correlation, the Input Columns are selected as "Age" and "Daily Rate".


The figure below displays the Pearson Correlation output performed on the HR_Employee_Attrition dataset. Here, the input variables are ‘Age’ and ‘DailyRate.

The result is shown below:-

  1. Correlation Matrix: -

    • It gives the correlation score for all the variables.
    • A value of correlation scores closer to one (1) indicates a strong correlation between two variables, while a value close to zero (0) indicates a weak correlation.
  2. Correlation Score Data

    The Pearson correlation results data now includes three new columns: "Column 1," "Column 2," and "Correlation Score." These columns show the selected input column values and the corresponding correlation score.

    • It gives the correlation score for all the variables.
    • If the number of correlation records are less than the number of input data records, the remaining rows (records) will have "na" data in "Column 1," "Column 2," and "Correlation Score".
      Ex:

    • If there are more correlation values than input data, the data in the input columns for the remaining records will be "na".
      Ex:
