The coefficient is an index to measure the correlation between two sets of data.
If the value of coefficients are ≤ 0.35, it is generally
considered to express low or weak correlations. From 0.36 to 0.67, they are modest or moderate
correlations. From 0.68 to 1.0, they are strong or high correlations. With coefficients ≥ 0.90,
it will be very high correlations. However, it depends on the property of the data and for some of
values like 0.3 to 0.6 are meaningless to conclude something. The correlation coefficient
can be negative, which indicates that those two data inversely correlated. Similarly, when it becomes
close to -1.0, their opposite correlation is strong.

Sometimes, people feel that we should have used the other variables to express the answers from
a questionnaire. We can also think how we change the expressions for each presentation. If it is
a small amount of data, it will not be hard to replace manually. However, when you have
more than hundreds of data, it is not easy. Fortunately, there is a systematic tool to replace
the variables in Excel.

If you want to compare three variables or more than that, the pivot table is one of the useful
tools. You can see a value in terms of two parameters. The scheme can be extended to more
parameters to see a specific value.

This test identifies the difference of average between two groups of data, which is also called
Student's t-test. It is based on testing null hypothesis that the averages of the two group are
equivalent. When it shows that the P value is less than 5%, we can reject the null hypothesis,
which these groups are significantly
different.

This shows the format specifiers, escape sequences, etc. of Fortran and C/C++. The input and output of data
depends on programming languages. This makes easier to refer to many of the codes and options.
