Not homework BTW ... I want to measure the processing time (performance) of some software under a set of fixed conditions. I have a means to log the start and stop of the processing. The only possible factors are some uncontrollable (noise) factors, e.g., the CPU and memory usage. Then there is...
I have a paired data set of known age and estimated age, and correlation tests show that there is a strong correlation between the two, but what I want to know is, does that mean the estimates are accurate?
My thinking is no, correlation cannot tell you if the estimated age is accurate, but...
Hi guys!
I am a little puzzled. :confused::confused:
I am carrying out research on cyclists perceived benefits of the supplements they take and comparing them to what is scientifically proven.
So far I have inserted all my data into SPSS and I have grouped all the variables accordingly...
First of all thanks for your time reading this post.
I got some issue with correlation analysis that I am not able to solve at all as for more people I ask, different opinions I get (including opinions read on this forum). I will try to explain my situation:

Hi all,
I'm currently running a Psychology experiment: the effect of background music on memory and mood.
I will be using SPSS to conduct two one-way ANOVAs (music + mood / music + memory), w/ planned comparisons. However, I also want to see the effect of mood on memory but I don't know how...
In a panel dataset of multiple years and multiple countries, what is best practice for running correlations among variables? I know that pooling by both countries and years is not recommended.
Is restricting instead by both country and year the preferred method? Or just by either one, country...
I was using the cross correlation function in R (ccf) until now to discover correlations and lags between two time series.
I was wondering if I can use all other correlation metrics for time series as well or are there any restrictions with time series? For example I want to use Spearman's...
Hello,
I have a table of approximately 1000 pairs of values.
x is an integer between 0 and 365, representing birthday
y is an integer between 1 and 4, being a measure of achievement.
I am investigating whether there is positive correlation between x and y.
I am not sure which test to use. I...

I am getting desperate.
Computing a cross-correlation function on R is easy: ccf(x,y, ...) and it's done.
But what about computing a Partial cross-correlation function? It's crazy. I've been looking everywhere, but cannot find a function for doing this on R. :-(.
By any chance does...
