THREE EIGHT DIMENSIONAL CORRELATION STUDIES

摘要

Personal computers are so affordable, ubiquitous and fast in our 21~s century that it is now possible to carry out massive simulations with them in seconds or a few minutes of computer run time. This allows the opportunity to develop new more sophisticated multivariate statistics for analyzing large spreadsheets of data to see what, if any, relationships may be hidden in their k dimensional space (for k variables). One such statistic is the new CTSP correlation statistic (discovered in 2002) which is featured here to analyze three multivariate spreadsheets of data involving sets of eight variables which may be correlated. The analysis of the first two spreadsheets shows a correlation between the variables in question. However, the third spreadsheet of data involves variables that were thought to be correlated, but the CTSP calculations prove this assumption to be false.
