Encyclopedia > Uncorrelated

In probability theory and statistics, to call two real-valued random variables X and Y uncorrelated means that their correlation is zero, or, equivalently, their covariance is zero.


If X and Y are independent then they are uncorrelated. It is not true, however, that if they are uncorrelated, they must be independent. For example, if X is uniformly distributed on [−1, 1] and Y = X2 then they are uncorrelated even though X determines Y, and Y restricts X to at most two values.


Moreover, uncorrelatedness is a relation between only two random variables, whereas independence can be a relationship between more than two.

These predictors happen to be uncorrelated with each other, however, this is not typical in social science research.
A "pure" suppressor is when a variable is uncorrelated with the dependent variable but still improves the R_ when it is used.

The variance of the gain estimate, var(ff) which equals the steady state value of ffl ff (k) is thus given by var(ff) ff oe 2 s (14) It is seen that the value of var(ff) increases with the step size, ff, and the signal power, oe 2 s.
The matrices H(t) and G(t; 1) are also influencing the convergence behavior of the algorithm, and even for the simple case of linear time invariant blur and no motion there are limitations emerging from the ill posedness of the model equations.
