Correlation Chart

The points on the correlation chart show the pairs of assumption values that would occur when running a simulation. The solid line running through the middle of the chart indicates the location where values of a perfect correlation (+1.0 or –1.0) will fall. The closer the points are to the solid line, the stronger the correlation. You can use the slider below the chart to increase and decrease the correlation. This correlation chart (Figure 100, Define Correlations Dialog in List View with All Assumptions Added) enables you to visualize the degree of correlation among assumption pairs. As you move the slider, the correlation coefficient in the Coefficients column changes to reflect each new value.
