The Correlation Coefficient - Explained in Three Steps
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ม.ค. 2025
- The correlation coefficient is a really popular way of summarizing a scatter plot into a single number between -1 and 1. In this video, I'm giving an intuition how the correlation coefficient does this, without going into formulas. If you need to calculate the correlation coefficient for some data, you can find the formula here: en.wikipedia.o...

One semesters worth of explaining learned in 7 minutes. THANK YOU!!!
wow they taught you that for one semester? we did this in a week and had a quiz and that's it e.e
what grade are you in by the way...
Cracked Code same

What's your course?
Stats or econ
7 years after and it’s still the best explanation of coefficient correlation ‘r’ on TH-cam. Thanks!
...if only all math instructors could be as visual and simplify the narrative! Thank you for this publication. It seems to have had a great affect on many students!
Phenomenal that you're using markers and paper over digital tools. What an absolute beast you are. Excellent video.
Daniel Kirchheiner I know right!, other people would just use a mouse on a computer and confuse the shit out of u.
Thank you! I have no mathematics background, and just needed a basic understanding of this to make sense of a point I was reading in a journal article. I read so many complicated descriptions and was starting to feel like a total dunce who just couldn't get it. This was such a clear, quick explanation.
This interactive illustration was excellent! On behalf of us kinesthetic learners, thank you so very much!
WOWOWOW. I cannot thank you enough. Why can't professors figure out how to teach it this way?!!? God bless you, sir.
I know its been a decade but omg you're a lifesaver
A worthy teacher ❤
Omg, this was amazing. The only non-monotone video on youtube for stats
Came for the lesson and stayed for the accent :) But on a serious note, this was the most effortless explanation!! Why didn't I find this video sooner? Great video! Execellent visual representaition!
I have watched meny videos to understand this without any understanding , but now I understand. Thank you Thank you Thank you
D best video i have ever seen on any study topic.... how i wish my teacher was so creative..... I would had studied nothing less than Phd. ..... Great work ... loved it !!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant! Explained Simply and intuitively... Keep creating QUALITY content!
Never thought it was so simple, thank your simplifying it and presenting it out in an intuitive manner, loved it.
Thank you! 8 years later and this is still helping people! :)
Great! I want to encorage you to continue working!!! You are doing so good!!! Your method is very illustrative and so helpfull!
I tend to love geometric explanations of formulas/concepts - and your way of presenting things speak so much to my mind
Basically, is this explaining what the Pearson's test shows? Thank you so much for this!
I like the natural ways of things in this video. Real hands, real paper, real pens and real pends and table. No powerpoint or flash. Thx!
this video is so old but i'm watching it for my ap psych exam. I had no idea how any of it worked, but this video was SOOOO helpful, thank you!!!
i cant believe how easily this sunk it, watched it one time and i fully understand the concept. Thank you!!
Everything is just so cute!!! Haha ii wish my life was this organized 😂 Great video ! Really helped me out! 🍒 Thanks !
Excellent demonstration. Brief, simple, and visual.
Thank You, My exams are next week, at home cuz of this corona virus. Who is like me
meeeeeeee
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH! Finally, I am starting to understand, Love from a fine art student from Egypt. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
i have my mathematics final tomorrow and this really helped me because i have been really struggling with this lesson and this video was very beneficial. thanks you !!!
You are an amazing lecturer. I hope you pursue more of these or a career in teaching !
Why can't everyone teach like this. I learned 1 year stuff in 10 minutes. Thank you very much.
1 year in 10 mins? This is what they taught you for 1 year? You must be disabled...
Minute 4:08 made my day with all the cute signs..brilliantly explained! thank you
One of the best stats explanation on yt. thanks!
it was easy to understand than I learned in my university.thank you very much...
Thank you I needed this so much! You have helped an uneducated highschool sophomore finish his essay.
THANK YOU!!! Please keep the good work!! Simple, illustrative... and direct! THANK YOU!!!!!
This video helped me so much!! And your accent was fun. It kept me awake. Now back to my statistics book. Yay.
my thoughts throughout the video: awesome!, yay! ahahah!
Good job, im sure many people have already praised you
Ah ha! you are a life saver! (and also really beautiful like wow congrats on winning the genetic lottery) But seriously my teacher is so confusing and took like two hours to try and teach us this and I still didn't understand but in under 7 minutes you explained and I'm like oh duh that makes sense. You are a blessing
literally saved me from having a breakdown over math tysm
Fabulous! Now I will try to find out how the formula "draws" the regression line. Thanks for an amazing vid!
Finally, please keep uploading the videos for statistics. they are really helpful!:D
Very nice. It's good to have a briefing on the the subject before starting to study it seriously.
Dude!! Thank you so much! I am a younger chemist and have no statistics background. Your videos are extremely clear thanks for it! Martin
Story time: I have a slightly compromised active memory and that means I have trouble migrating concepts from my active memory to my short term memory. Normally this presents very little problem for me. But numbers for whatever reason are the worst.
The way you broken this down into manageable parts and clearly and visually explained everything made my life so much easier. I wish all my math professors broke stuff down like you did!
I'm sure you've moved on since this was done but thanks! So clear and i now understand where correlation matrix comes from!
Extremely helpful and explained in simplest terms. Thank you!
You deserve more subs...this is great. Made and explained well :) Thank you.
You are now my god. Khan math didn't help me with this but I am so glad that I caught this video
this is awesome because im a visual learner. thanks, benedict. great video.
Amazing video. What an easy way to understand the topic. You are a great teacher. Simple explanation and very easy to understand. I like the use of post it NOTES and also the index card with examples .Thank you.
This helped me with my correlation science project, thank you!
Brilliantly explained. Be able to do that is a super talent! Thank you
Subscribed!
love the creativity with the little colored pieces of paper!
Very helpful explanation. Love the visuals!
Simply amazing .... Yours explaining technique is very creative and wonderful.....Thank you so much...keep bringing more videos
Thank you man. This video has really helped me in understanding coefficient correlation basics in fundamentals of meteorology. There's a lot of coefficient correlation calculations in meteorology and one of them is anomaly coefficient correlation. It is used in producing long range forecasts or climatological forecasts. It would be really helpful if you could also make a short and comprehensive video for anomaly coefficient correlation as an example for coefficient correlation! Thanks
Unglaublich Benedict, ich bin froh wenn ich's auf deutsch verstehe >.<
Ziehe meinen Hut vor deinem Wissen und dass du es kostenlos zur Verfügung stellst mit diesen mega guten anschaulichen Erklärungen!
Vielen Dank!
Hoffe du wirst/bist Professor an einer Uni und erklärst das so gut den Studis 😊 Das wäre verschwendetes Potential wenn du in i.einem Büro sitzt 😄
Ich stimme sehr zu!
Painstakingly produced! Great work.
Wow, I stumbled upon the video and wasn't going to watch, but it was so good it kept me watching. Nice teaching!
Awesome visual explanation. It was never introduced in that manner at all in my class. ty
I love the animating in this xD It is so much more lively
How did I only just find you. This is so helpful. Thank you.
Such good illustration and legible tone! You're use of props is really good!! please continue to do more : ) Thank you
So compact! Top of the line explanation! Excellent.
This really helps!! Thank you so much for posting this video!! It helped me get a A on a high school Algebra Exam when studying!!
Great video man, thanks for taking the time to make this, really appreciate the effort and helping us follow you along!
you are amazing. thank you so very much for this simple easy to understand explanation!!
Very well illustrated. I hope you will make more of these videos in the future. Thank you.
Loved this video. Your visuals made the conceptual learning easier. Thank you.
So good that i don't have the sufficient words to thank you. Great explained
This is a terrific, helpful, and conceptual explanation of a difficult topic. Thank you very much for sharing.
Great intuitive explaination of the topic. Thank you.
This is an artistic way of teaching :). Thank you
Thank you so much. I finally understand the concept. Also I think you put a lot effort into your videos. It looks amazing an understandable. Thanks a lot
Awesome video. Great work Benedict!
Very informative in a visual manner, thanks.
This is a great video. Very informative and easy to understand especially when using props and simple examples.
Genius presentation. Congratulations on this video.
I'm now subscribed 🙌🏽 great work, sir. Looking forward to more content from yourself
Wow. I really appreciate this - finally I get it!! Thank you! 💛
please make more videos like that. you are very good at explaining.
Excellent Explanation - Loved the style of presentation
Terrific video! Thank you, I understand the correlation coefficient much better now.
Hilarious illustrated technique!... So smart, sharp and educational... Loved it ... Cheers m8,
Super explained one needs to do this much of preparations to explain in the concept....! Good professor ... nice video expecting much more ideas like this...!( though this is not my study of subject but understood nice...!) impressive
Great explanation ! It's almost perfect. WELL, U CAN ANIMATE AXIS AND DATA RELATIONSHIPS AND MAKE IT STILL MORE SHORTER AND BETTER GRASPING.
Simple, powerful, direct. A lot of "professional"teachers will go out of business.
I'm getting confused for the 3rd points.Could someone explain what does it mean the scatter around the fitted line. In other word, what is the value we are comparing for the scatter around fitted line? Is it the distance between the actual point and the point on that green line? If it is the case, how could you tell they are the same in the video 4:53 ?
This guy is born to teach!111
Great presentation! You deliver this information very clearly.
Thank you very much! for videos like this is that you can understand everything better. Thanks again
didnt understand a fucking thing, im just gonna drop out and become a mail man at this point. great benefits
God bless you man!!!!! You really are an angel 😇
T’is indeed a very well-elaborated video!
This was honestly fantastic, thank you so much!
Your awesome 👏🏽 I wasn’t not understanding this at all untill watching your video and it makes way more sense now lol Thank you
This is so great, thank you! I'm working on a communication science/studies paper and one of my sources had these numbers I didn't understand but now I do
Thanks for the video , very helpful for my upcoming exam :)
Great video. Very helpful, in a very short time.
Very easy to understand! Thanks for the great video!!!!!!
Such a well explained video! Great visuals.
