Header:STD.h
Namespace:fil

Computes Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The array must be not empty.

Syntax

void fil::PearsonCorrelation
(
	const ftl::Array<float>& inValues1,
	const ftl::Array<float>& inValues2,
	float& outCorrelation
)

Parameters

Name Type Default Description
inValues1 const Array<float>& Array of values of the first variable
inValues2 const Array<float>& Array of values of the second variable
outCorrelation float& Computed correlation coefficient between two variables

Hints

  • Make sure that the standard deviation of both input arrays is non-zero.

Errors

List of possible exceptions:

Error type Description
DomainError Cannot compute the value of PearsonCorrelation. The standard deviation of some set of input values is equal to zero.
