The document provides an introduction to measuring relationships between variables through covariance and Pearson's r. It defines correlation as a statistical method to describe and measure the relationship between two variables. Covariance is introduced as a way to measure how two variables vary together or oppose each other by taking the average of their cross-product deviations from the mean. However, covariance depends on the scale of measurement. Pearson's r standardizes the covariance by converting the variables to z-scores based on their standard deviations, allowing comparison of relationships between variables measured on different scales. It represents the covariability of the two variables divided by their separate variability.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. Defining correlation
• A correlation is a statistical method used to
describe and measure the relationship
between two variables.
• A relationship exists when changes in one
variable tend to be accompanied by
consistent and predictable changes in
the other variable.

5. Defining correlation
Although you should not make too much of the
distinction between relationships and
differences (if treatments have different
means, then means are related to treatments),
the distinction is useful in terms of the interests
of the experimenter and the structure of the
experiment.

17. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• The simplest way to look at whether two
variables are associated is to look at whether
they covary.
• To understand what covariance is, we first
need to think back to the concept of
variance.
17
18. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• Remember that the variance of a single
variable represents the average amount that
the data vary from the mean.
variance = s

19. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• If we are interested in whether two variables
are related, then we are interested in whether
changes in one variable are met with
similar changes in the other variable.
• Therefore, when one variable deviates
from its mean we would expect the
other variable to deviate from its
mean in a similar way or the directly
opposite way.

27. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• When we multiply the deviations of one
variable by the corresponding deviations of a
second variable, we get what is known as the
cross-product deviations.
• As with the variance, if we want an average
value of the combined deviations for the two
variables, we must divide by the number of
observations (n− 1)
27
29. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• This averaged sum of combined deviations is
known as the covariance.
covariance = cov X ,Y
∑ ( X − M ) (Y − M )

31. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• Calculating the covariance is a good way to
assess whether two variables are related to each
other.
• A positive covariance indicates that as one
variable deviates from the mean, the other
variable deviates in the same direction.
• On the other hand, a negative covariance
indicates that as one variable deviates from the
mean (e.g. increases), the other deviates from the
mean in the opposite direction (e.g. decreases).
31
32. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• There is, however, one problem with
covariance as a measure of the relationship
between variables and that is that it depends
upon the scales of measurement used.
• So, covariance is not a standardized
measure.
32
33. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• For example, if we use the data above and
assume that they represented two variables
measured in miles then the covariance is 94.62
(as calculated above). If we then convert these
data into kilometers (by multiplying all values
by 1.609) and calculate the covariance again
then we should find that it increases to
244.97.
33
34. Measuring relationships:
Covariance
• This dependence on the scale of measurement
is a problem because it means that we cannot
compare covariances in an objective way – so,
we cannot say whether a covariance is
particularly large or small relative to another
data set unless both data sets were measured
in the same units.
34
36. Measuring relationships: Pearson r
• To overcome the problem of dependence on
the measurement scale, we need to convert
the covariance into a standard set of units.
• This process is known as standardization.
36
37. Measuring relationships: Pearson r
• A very basic form of standardization would be
to insist that all experiments use the same
units of measurement, say meters – that way,
all results could be easily compared.
• However, what happens if you want to
measure attitudes – you’d be hard pushed to
measure them in meters!
37
38. Measuring relationships: Pearson r
• Therefore, we need a unit of measurement
into which any scale of measurement can be
converted. The unit of measurement we use is
the standard deviation.
• If we divide any distance from the mean by the
standard deviation, it gives us that distance in
standard deviation units.
38
40. Measuring relationships: Pearson r
• Since the properties of z scores form the foundation
necessary for understanding the Pearson product
moment correlation coefficient (r) they will be briefly
reviewed:
1. The sum of a set of z score (Σ z) and therefore
also the mean equal 0.
2. The variance (s2) of the set of z scores equals 1, as
does the standard deviation (s).
3. Neither the shape of the distribution of X, nor of
its relationship to any other variable, is affected by
transforming it to zX

46. Measuring relationships: Pearson r
There are three general strategies for determining the size of
the population effect which a research is trying to detect:
1. To the extent that studies which have been carried out by
the current investigator or others are closely related to the
present investigation, the ESs found in these studies reflect
the magnitude which can be expected.
2. In some research areas an investigator may posit some
minimum population effect that would have either practical
of theoretical significance.
3. A third strategy in deciding what ES values to use in
determining the power of a study is to use certain suggested
conventional definitions of “small”, “medium”, and “large”
effects.

51. Measuring relationships: Pearson r
• Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient:
– It is a pure number and independent of the units of measurement.
– Its absolute value varies between zero, when the variables have no
linear relationship, and 1, when each variable is perfectly predicted by
the other. The absolute value thus gives the degree of relationship.
– Its sign indicates the direction of the relationship. A positive sign
indicates a tendency for high values of one variable to occur with high
values of the other, and low values to occur with low. A negative sign
indicates a tendency for high values of one variable to be associated
with low values of the other. Reversing the direction of measurement
of one of the variables will produce a coefficient of the same value bur
of opposite sign. Coefficients with equal value but opposite sign (for
example, +.50 and -.50) thus indicate equally strong linear relationship,
but in opposite directions.
51
58. Uses of Correlation
• Prediction. If two variables are known to be
related in a systematic way, then it is possible
to use one of the variables to make accurate
predictions about the other.
58
59. Uses of Correlation
• Validity. Suppose that a psychologist
develops a new test for measuring intelligence.
How could you show that this test truly
measures what it claims; that is, how could
you demonstrate the validity of the test? One
common technique for demonstrating validity
is to use a correlation.
59
60. Uses of Correlation
• Reliability. In addition to evaluating the
validity of a measurement procedure,
correlations are used to determine reliability.
A measurement procedure is considered
reliable to the extent that it produces stable,
consistent measurements.
60
61. Uses of Correlation
• Theory Verification. Many psychological
theories make specific predictions about the
relationship between two variables.
