Spurious correlation due to mutual influence from a third, common, causative variable, is harder to avoid: the model must be specified such that there is a theoretical reason to believe that no such underlying causative variable has been omitted from the model ; in particular, underlying time trends of both the dependent variable and the independent ( potentially causative ) variable must be controlled for by including time as another independent variable.

* Like random noise, the local sequence has a very low correlation with any other sequence in the set, or with the same sequence at a significantly different time offset, or with narrow band interference, or with thermal noise.

* Unlike random noise, it must be easy to generate exactly the same sequence at both the transmitter and the receiver, so the receiver's locally generated sequence has a very high correlation with the transmitted sequence.

The studies noted that it would be impossible to assume conclusively the likely protective effect of the " other sex acts " including oral sex, or that the correlation between these sexual practices was due to the presence of collinearity induced by some other protective factor not noted in the studies: for example, greater overall frequency of sex.

However there is some debate about a possible underlying mechanism that enables this correlation to occur even when the separation distance is large.

Studying colours and spectra provides insight into the objects ' origin and a potential correlation with other classes of objects, namely centaurs and some satellites of giant planets ( Triton, Phoebe ), suspected to originate in the Kuiper belt.

The common characteristics are: ( 1 ) radical novelty ( features not previously observed in systems ); ( 2 ) coherence or correlation ( meaning integrated wholes that maintain themselves over some period of time ); ( 3 ) A global or macro " level " ( i. e. there is some property of " wholeness "); ( 4 ) it is the product of a dynamical process ( it evolves ); and ( 5 ) it is " ostensive " ( it can be perceived ).

* Our common-sense understanding of belief may not be entirely correct, but it is close enough to make some useful predictions-This view argues that we will eventually reject the idea of belief as we use it now, but that there may be a correlation between what we take to be a belief when someone says " I believe that snow is white " and how a future theory of psychology will explain this behaviour.

The Pearson correlation is + 1 in the case of a perfect positive ( increasing ) linear relationship ( correlation ), − 1 in the case of a perfect decreasing ( negative ) linear relationship ( anticorrelation ), and some value between − 1 and 1 in all other cases, indicating the degree of linear dependence between the variables.
