Easy to understand SD is biased down, why correlation also biased down?作者: cityboy 时间: 2011-7-11 19:59
it's kinda the same reason why SD is biased down. if you have daily stock prices that are volatile over the year but say you have commercial property values which only update on a monthly basis you can imagine the graph of the two would not look at all identical. in reality you would imagine that a slump in the market would result in a slump in commercial property values so there should be a strong correlation albeit not a 1:1 relation.作者: bpdulog 时间: 2011-7-11 19:59
