Advanced Data Exploration Data Preparation Summary
Correlation values fall into the range [−1, 1], where values
close to −1 indicate a very strong negative correlation (or
covariance), values close to 1 indicate a very strong
positive correlation, and values around 0 indicate no
correlation.
Features that have no correlation are said to be
independent.

The covariance matrix, usually denoted as , between a
set of continuous features, {a, b, . . . , z}, is given as
var (a) cov (a, b) · · · cov (a, z)
