Primes¶
- Correlation
- Correlation is the structural pattern in which two or more variables systematically co-vary — values of one tend to track values of another above what statistical independence would predict — without any implied mechanism, direction, or production relation between them, a pattern Galton (1888) first quantified when measuring the co-variation of human stature across kin.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Galton's abstract defines co-relation as one organ's variation being on average accompanied by variation in the other, and asserts the first clear definition and measurement; it says nothing of statistical independence or kin stature.
“Two variable organs are said to be co-related when the variation of the one is accompanied on the average by more or less variation of the other, and in the same direction.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
