Abstract:
The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is being used to evaluate the similarity of the high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprints of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in China. It is confirmed that a large range of peak areas produced the wrong results. A new algorithm concerning weighted Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is proposed in this article. The results for both real cases and simulated data sets show that the weighted Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients allow relatively larger differences for large values, smaller differences for small values, and more reliable results than the unweighted Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. Weight selection depends on the specific scientific problem.

Coefficient of Correlation
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the strength of the linear...
