1. The Pearson Correlation By far the most common correlation is the Pearson correlation (or the Pearson productâmoment correlation) which measures the degree of straight-line relationship. D e f i n i t i o n The Pearson correlation measures the degree and the direction of the linearrelationship between two variables.
A core is usually the basic computation unit of the CPU-it can run a single program context (or multiple ones if it supports HW threads such as hyperthreading on intel CPUs), maintaining the correct program state, registers, and correct execution order, and performing the operations through ALUs.
A dual core processor is different from a multi-processor system. In the latter, there are two separate CPUs with their own resources. In the former, resources are shared, and the cores reside on the same chip. A multi-processor system is faster than a system with a dual core processor, and a dual core system is faster than a single-core system, when everything else is equal.
