Online resources: This dataset example introduces researchers to Pearson's correlation coefficient, which is a measure of association between two continuous variables. Pearson's correlation coefficient measures the positive or negative linear relationship between two continuous variables. This example uses a subset of data from the Consolidated State Performance Report from the U.S. Department of Education, looking specifically at high school science proficiency rates across the 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years. Analysis like this might help researchers and policy makers better understand the link between annual performance in educational outcomes year to year.
