Correlation
In probability theory and
statistics, correlation,
also called correlation
coefficient, indicates the
strength and direction of a
linear relationship between
two random variables. In
general statistical usage,

Probability theory
Probability theory is the
mathematical study of
phenomena characterized by
randomness or uncertainty.
More precisely, probability
is used for modelling
situations when the result
of an experiment, realized

Data mining
Data mining, also known as
knowledge-discovery in
databases (KDD), is the
practice of automatically
searching large stores of
data for patterns. To do
