    * The '''[[w:Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient|Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient]]'''  (sometimes referred to as the '''PPMCC''' or '''PCC''', or '''Pearson's ''r''''') is a measure of the ''linear [[w:correlation|correlation]] (dependence) between two variables'' ''X'' and ''Y'', giving a value between +1 and −1 inclusive, where 1 is total positive correlation, 0 is no correlation, and −1 is total negative correlation. It is widely used in the sciences as a measure of the degree of linear dependence between two variables. It was developed by [[w:Karl Pearson|Karl Pearson]] from a related idea introduced by [[w:Francis Galton|Francis Galton]] in the 1880s.

    • Statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions from data that are subject to random variation, for example, observational errors or sampling variation. ( Wikipedia )
    • A crosstab is another name for a contingency table, which is a type of table created by crosstabulation. In survey research (e.g., polling, market research), a "crosstab" is any table showing summary statistics. Commonly, crosstabs in survey research are concatenations of multiple different tables. For example, the crosstab below combines multiple contingency tables and tables of averages. ( Wikipedia )
    • The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (sometimes referred to as the PPMCC or PCC, or Pearson's r) is a measure of the linear correlation (dependence) between two variables X and Y, giving a value between +1 and −1 inclusive, where 1 is total positive correlation, 0 is no correlation, and −1 is total negative correlation. It is widely used in the sciences as a measure of the degree of linear dependence between two variables. It was developed by Karl Pearson from a related idea introduced by Francis Galton in the 1880s.
