Interpreting Correlations When you encounter correlations, there are four additional considerations that you should bear in mind: 1. Correlation simply describes a relationship between two variables. It does not explain why the two variables are related. Specifically, a correlation should not and cannot be interpreted as proof of a cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables. 2. The value of a correlation can be affected greatly by the range of scores represented in the data.

What is a Pathologist? Medicine is made up of many specialties. Most of us know you see a cardiologist for a heart problem, a dermatologist for skin problems and a gynecologist for womenâs health issues. When then, do you see a pathologist? Maybe never, but they see you. Pathologists are physicians who diagnose and treat patients through laboratory medicine. When your cardiologist orders blood tests, a pathologist reviews the results for abnormalities; when your dermatologist removes a skin lesion for biopsy, a pathologist decides if it is cancerous; and when your gynecologist does a Pap test, a pathologist determines the result of the slide.
