Correlations is a gem that can be used to calculate Pearson Correlation Coefficients for a data set.
Install the gem
$ gem install correlations
Calculate the correlation between values
$ correlations weather.csv
Correlations works on CSV files with headers.
| Days with Snow | Average Temperature | Average Wind Speed |
|---|---|---|
| 43 | 9.4 | 8.8 |
| 25 | 9.5 | 10.5 |
| 28 | 9.6 | 10.6 |
| 41 | 8.8 | 9.8 |
| 74 | 6.6 | 9.2 |
It will calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between the values in the first column and each of the other columns.
