The correlation is 1 in the case of an increasing linear relationship, −1 in the case of a decreasing linear relationship, and some value in between in all other cases, indicating the degree of linear dependence between the variables.
The closer the coefficient is to either −1 or 1, the stronger the correlation between the variables.
Non-parametric correlation methods, such as Spearman's ρ and Kendall's τ may be useful when distributions are not normal; they are a little less powerful than parametric methods if the assumptions underlying the latter are met, but are less likely to give distorted results when the assumptions fail.

 Denying the correlative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The logical fallacy of denying the correlative is the opposite of the false dilemma, where an attempt is made at introducing alternatives where there are none.
The essence of denying the correlative is introducing a false alternative into a context that logically admits none, but this itself could be taken as a statement (outside of logic) that the context is invalid.
Thus denying the correlative should not be confused with questioning definitions.

 fallacy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
A logical fallacy is an error of argument; it is a mistake in the way that the propositions (in the argument) are inter-related.
This structural mistake is not the same as the truth or falsity of the statements being made; the conclusion may be true, but it is said to be invalid because it doesn't follow from the arguments (premises) presented.
By definition, logical fallacies are invalid, but they can often be written or rewritten so that they follow a valid argument form; and in that case, the challenge is to discover the false premise, which makes the argument unsound.

 Logical fallacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A logical fallacy may mean nothing more than a fallacy or it may mean an error in deductive reasoning, i.e., a formal fallacy.
In the latter case, it is a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument as opposed to an error in the premises.
Recognizing fallacies in everyday arguments may be difficult since arguments are often embedded in rhetorical patterns that obscure the logical connections between statements.

 False dilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The logical fallacy of false dilemma, which is also known as fallacy of the excluded middle, false dichotomy, either/or dilemma or bifurcation, involves a situation in which two alternative points of view are held to be the only options, when in reality there exist one or more alternate options which have not been considered.
The false dilemma fallacy refers to misuse of the or operator.
A false dilemma may not necessarily be limited to two choices; it may involve three possibilities, in which case it is known as a trifurcation, or more, in which case the dilemma may be more the result of accidental omission than deliberate intent.

A third aspect of the spectrum fallacy is the emphasis on frequency blocks as the unit of allocation.
The spectrum fallacy is pernicious not only in placing too much focus on frequency, but also in directing attention away from characteristics that matter a great deal, such as architecture.  Architecture is an essential element of any communications system.
A more subtle danger of the spectrum fallacy is that it implies false certainties.  This in turn makes the inevitable errors of spectrum policy more difficult to correct.  An analogy to the scientific method may prove helpful.  A scientific theory can never be right.  It can only be wrong.
