This function returns the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, a dimensionless index between -1.0 to 1.0 inclusive indicative of the linear relationship of two data sets.
PEARSON(array_ind,array_dep)
This function has these arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| array_ind | Array of independent values (x’s) |
| array_dep | Array of dependent values (y’s) |
The arrays must be the same size.
Accepts numeric data for both arguments. Returns numeric data.
PEARSON(B4:G7,B8:G11)
PEARSON(R4C2:R7C7,R8C2:R11C7)
PEARSON({2,8,4,16,10,12},{8,2,15,14,18,11}) gives the result 0.262017
