💡 Learning Objectives
- Appropriately use a variety of correlation types using R
- Understand partial and semi-partial correlation in preparation for regression
💪🏿 This is what I accomplished my fifth week in the DTSC 650 course:
📺 Videos Watched (these videos follow along with the book):
- What is Correlation
- Variance, Covariance and Equations
- Correlation in R
- Spearman
- Visualizing Correlation in R
- Biserial and Point-Biserial Correlations
- Partial and Semi-Partial Correlations Part 1
- Partial and Semi-Partial Correlations Part 2
👀 Read these articles:
- Interpreting Correlations: An Interactive Visualization
- Spurious Correlations
- How to Create a Correlation Matrix in R
- DataExplorer
💯 Exam
- An exam on Correlations with 13 questions. All were multiple choice with one answer. So an easy test.
- You can take the exam as many times as needed to get the score you want, but each test has different questions. I took the exam 4 times. Final score was 100.00%. You have until the end of the semester to take all your exams. I’ll see how I do when I start turning in graded assignments on if I need to retake any tests.
🔥 Summary
- Another easy week with just watching videos, completing a few readings, and a short test.
Stay tuned for week 6…
