4. Correlation and Covariance

This week we cover correlation and covariance

In the tutorial we will also review topics from Describing Data and Plotting Data in preparation for the first hand-in exercise

4.1. Tasks for this week

Conceptual material is covered in the lecture. In addition to the live lecture, you can find lecture videos on Canvas.

Please work through the guided exercises in this section (everything except the page labelled “Tutorial Exercises”) in advance of the computer-based tutorial session.

To complete the guided exercises you will need to either:

• open the pages in Google Colab (simply click the Colab button on each page), or
• download them as Jupyter Notbooks to your own computer and work with them locally (eg in Spyder)

If you find something difficult or have questions, you can discuss with your tutor in the computer-based tutoral session.
