AI Thread Summary
To calculate the linear correlation coefficient between two variables X and Y in MATLAB, users can utilize the built-in function "corrcoef". The correlation coefficient will indicate whether an increase in X corresponds to an increase or decrease in Y. It is crucial to remember that correlation does not imply causation, meaning that a relationship observed does not confirm that one variable affects the other. For further details on the mathematical formula, users can refer to resources such as Wikipedia's linear regression page. Understanding these concepts is essential for accurate data analysis.

Hello I have to variables X and Y, 50,000 in each row (a time series of 2 years). I am curious how to calculate a linear correlation between the two, for example if X decreases does Y increase or decrease.

Looking for formula or a MATLAB function :)
