What the result means

The output describes the relationship or fitted trend in the data entered. Correlation does not by itself establish causation, and a fitted model may be unreliable outside the observed data range.

When to use it

Use this to explore association or estimate a trend from paired data. Check sample size, outliers, assumptions, and whether the model is appropriate for the data.
