Correlation is a statistical measure of the linear association between two variables. It is important to remember that correlation does not mean causation and also that the absence of correlation does not mean the two variables are unrelated.


What fallacy is described assuming there is no correlation between two events there is also a casual relationship?

Very few people will assume, given NO correlation, that there is also a casual relationship.I will assume that you meant the fallacy in assuming that if "there is no correlation between two events there is also nocausal relationship".Correlation is a measure of linear relationship. If there is a non-linear relationship it is possible for the correlation to be low. Or, in the extreme case of a relationship that is symmetric about a specific value of the explanatory variable, for the correlation to be zero.Very few people will assume, given NO correlation, that there is also a casual relationship.I will assume that you meant the fallacy in assuming that if "there is no correlation between two events there is also nocausal relationship".Correlation is a measure of linear relationship.
