If we make a measurement, does that mean that the outcome of the measurement gets correlated with the measured value?
? What is the difference between "the outcome of the measurement" and "the measured value"? How are they not the same thing?entropy1 said:If we make a measurement, does that mean that the outcome of the measurement gets correlated with the measured value?
Perhaps I should say "the value (of the thing) being measured" instead of "measured value".phinds said:? What is the difference between "the outcome of the measurement" and "the measured value"? How are they not the same thing?
And how is the "measured value" different from "the value being measured"? This thread is closed.entropy1 said:Perhaps I should say "the value (of the thing) being measured" instead of "measured value".
A measurement is a numerical quantity assigned to an object or event based on a defined scale or standard.
A correlation is a statistical measure that describes the relationship between two variables. It indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables.
No, a measurement and a correlation are two different concepts. A measurement is a single numerical value, while a correlation is a measure of the relationship between two variables. They are not interchangeable terms.
A measurement can be used as data points to calculate a correlation between two variables. However, a measurement alone does not provide information about the relationship between two variables.
No, a measurement alone cannot determine causation. A correlation may suggest a relationship between two variables, but it does not prove causation. Additional research and experiments are needed to establish causation.
