it's @hermitthewriter here with a Question for you…
I just finished Reading a recommended Book called “The Better Angels of Our Nature” by Steven Pinker.
I have this Data that I put together a while back, for a Post I am working on, but likely my Math skills are not what they used to be, (I think it's the second thing to go, as us males get older).
If I create a Graph of Column One with Column Two, I would expect to see something like this, right?
The Correlation of Column One with Column Two gives me 0.9780626464 a Strong Relationship between the two, am I correct?
Here is where I get confused. If I take Column Two and divide it by 100,000 I get Column Three.
So to compare Column One with just one of those 100,000 sets in Column Three, I would take Column One and divide it by Column Three, and you would expect to see a Graph like this, am I correct?
So this would indicate the Trend was sloping down, a Negative and Weak correlation with Column One, Yes?
So now, if I add in Column Four, what is the Truth here? Is the Number of Wars and Conflicts in the World going up or down over time?
