Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Glossary of Statistical Terms
    "after this, therefore because of this." a fallacy of logic known since classical times: inferring a causal relation from correlation. don`t do this at home!




Correlation, английский
  1. A measure of linear association between two (ordered) lists. two variables can be strongly correlated without having any causal relationship, and two variables can have a causal relationship and yet be uncorrelated.

  2. Соотношение; корреляция

  3. N корреляция, соответ- ствие regular ~s закономерные соответствия

  4. Корреляция

  5. Correlation is a statistical measure of the association between two attributes or types of events. it typically ranges from -1 to 1, with a -1 indicating a complete negative association (e.g., if one type of event occurs the other cannot), and a +1 indicating a complete posipage 66 tive association. for continuous attributes, the pearson correlation coefficient is computed as the ratio of the covariance between two attributes to the product of the attributes` standard errors. see also: covariance.

  6. To correlate, in a stratigraphic sense, is to show correspondence in character and in stratigraphic position between geographically separated stratigraphic sections or rock bodies. there are different kinds of correlation depending on the feature or property to be emphasized (see section 3.a.9 and lithocorrelation, biocorrelation, and chronocorrelation). coset. a sedimentary unit made up o f two or more sets, either o f strata or o f cross-strata, separated from other strata or cross-strata by original flat surfaces o f erosion, nondeposition, or abrupt change in character (mckee and weir, 1953, p. 384).

  7. Creating relationships between an email activity and other records by using the information from email headers.

  8. Statistical measure of the degree to which the movements of two variables (stock/option/convertible prices or returns) are related. see: correlation coefficient.

  9. The extent to which a relationship exists between two or more elements. often used in seo research to infer relationships of variables on search rankings due to the black box nature of algorithms. always remember, however, that correlation ≠ causation.

  10. A standardised measure, bounded between −1 and +1, of the strength of association between two variables.


Placebo, английский
  1. A "dummy" treatment that has no pharmacological effect; e.g., a sugar pill.

  2. Placebo

  3. A tablet which appears to be a drug, but has no medicinal substance in it comment: placebos may be given to patients who have imaginary illnesses. placebos can also help in treating real disorders by stimulating the patient’s psychological will to be cured. placebos are also used on control groups in tests of new drugs (a placebo-controlled study).

  4. Плацебо индифферентный препарат, неотличимый от исследуемого препарата по внешнему виду, но не оказывающий специфического действия, используемый в качестве контроля при испытании иммунобиологических, фармацевтических и других препаратов.

  5. Плацебо. фармацевтическая форма, содержащая только неактивные вещества, по внешнему виду и вкусу имитирующая исследуемый препарат.


Affine transformation, английский
