Hello, how can I calculate the correlation. I tried several nodes but failed.
Hi @sefaguntepe
Correlation of what?
Please try to describe what you'd like to do in enough detail so we can help. If you have tried some nodes, it would be helpful to mention which ones you have tried and in what way they failed.
Hello, I have 2 series of numbers. I need the correlation result of these two series. When I calculate the sample numbers below in excel, the correlation is 0.9.
sample:
14.2-554
27.5-635
40.2-699
65.4-1262
74.4-2062
78.6-2155
What formula are you using to calculate the correlation?
I cannot find an existing node-red node that will do that for you. However, I think the npm module calculate-correlation should do it (though I have not checked the spec in detail). If it does do what you want then you can call it quite easily in a function node.
See the node red docs page Writing Functions for how to do that, in particular the section Loading Additional Modules and subsection Using the functionExternalModules option
Can you provide information on how to use it? or an example. I'm a bit of a novice at this.
You can do Pearson correlation in a simple function node.

It was very important to my project, thank you Steve-Mcl.
