PEARSON

Returns the Pearson correlation coefficient of two sets of data.

Syntax:

PEARSON(x; y)

where x and y are ranges or arrays containing the two sets of data.
Any text or empty entries are ignored.
PEARSON calculates:
Calc pearson equation.png
where Calc xymean.png are the averages of x,y.
Advanced topic:
The parameters x and y are always evaluated as * array formulas.

Example:

PEARSON(A1:A30; B1:B30)

returns the Pearson correlation coefficient for the two sets of data in A1:A30 and B1:B30.
