correlation is drawn from all data points. if you look at the r^2 value and it's below 0.99 for example (should be higher in non research work (and in much research work) it indicates that 1 of your points may be an outlier. If you input all datapoints into excel, you may be able to see the point that's throwing it off. There are also statistical tests you can do to spot an outlier.
In other words, correlation is not independent of an outlier. it will make the r^2 value worse. If the outlier is taken out, then the correlation could be deemed independent but only because you manipulated it and had taken the outlier out
There is no limit to the number of outliers there can be in a set of data.
apparently there is no limit to outliers. at least according to everybody else's answers.
It is not.
Mean- If there are no outliers. A really low number or really high number will mess up the mean. Median- If there are outliers. The outliers will not mess up the median. Mode- If the most of one number is centrally located in the data. :)
good correlation
i think correlatioin is a nonresistant measure because if you take out outliers than only the data that's close together is there...this will increase the correlation closer to -1 or 1, depending on the slope
Care to clarify? The question is way too broad to give a useful answer. What type of metal? resistant or non-resistant to what?
No, it is not resistant to changes in data.
Yes, it is.
no
Nonresistant is defined as the inability to withstand the effect of something, or a person who does not resist force. A sample sentence is "Shale is a nonresistant form of sandstone."
You can describe if there's any obvious correlation (like a positive or negative correlation), apparent outliers, and the corrlation coefficient, which is the "r" on your calculator when you do a regression model. The closer "r" is to either -1 or 1, the stronger that correlation is.
Median is a good example of a resistant statistic. It "resists" the pull of outliers. The mean, on the other hand, can change drastically in the presence of an outlier.The interquartile range is a resistant measure of spread.
