The closer the correlation is to 1 or -1, the more linear the data is

What does a correlation coefficient value of negative two indicate?

A mistake in calculations! ;) If the calculations are done correctly then the sample correlation must lie within the closed interval [-1, 1].

What does a correlation coefficient represent?

The correlation coefficient for two variables is a measure of the degree to which the variables change together. The correlation coefficient ranges between -1 and +1. At +1, the two variables are in perfect agreement in the sense that any increase in one is matched by an increase in the other. An increase of twice as much in the first is accompanied by double the increase in the second. A correlation coefficient of -1 indicates that the two variables are in perfect opposition. The changes in the two variables are similar to when the correlation coefficient is +1, but this time an increase in one variable is accompanied by a decrease in the other. A correlation coefficient near 0 indicates that the two variables do not move in harmony. An increase in one is as likely to be accompanied by an increase in the other variable as a decrease. It is very very important to remember that a correlation coefficient does not indicate causality.


Is 0.5 the strongest correlation coefficient?

No. The strongest correlation coefficient is +1 (positive correlation) and -1 (negative correlation).


What type of correlation do you have when are is equal to one?

A correlation coefficient of 1 (r=1) is a perfect positive correlation.
