Summary

Introduction

Often life scientists obtain data for two or more variables measured on the same set of subjects or experimental units because they are interested in whether these variables are related and, if so, the type of functional relationship between them.

If two variables are related, they vary together – as the value of one variable increases or decreases, the other also changes in a consistent way.
