Meridians01:28

Meridians

957
In surveying, meridians are vital reference lines to measure directions and establish accurate land orientations. Meridians run from the north to the south poles, providing a stable framework for angular measurements and mapping. Meridians are fundamental in survey design, with the primary types being astronomic, magnetic, and assumed meridians. Each type offers distinct benefits and limitations, selected based on the project's scale and precision needs.The astronomic meridian is aligned with...

Correlations02:20

Correlations

36.6K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Correlation and Causation01:27

Correlation and Causation

43.0K
Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.
Correlation versus Causation
If the dependent variable increases or decreases when the independent variable increases, there is a positive or negative...

Correlation

In statistics, two variables are said to be correlated if the values of one variable are associated with the other variable. Depending on the relationship between two variables, correlation can be of three types– positive correlation, negative correlation, and zero correlation.
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:

Correlation and Regression

3.5K
In statistics, correlation describes the degree of association between two variables. In the subfield of linear regression, correlation is mathematically expressed by the correlation coefficient, which describes the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. The coefficient is symbolically represented by 'r' and ranges from -1 to +1. A positive value indicates a positive correlation where the two variables move in the same direction. A negative value suggests a...

Coefficient of Correlation01:12

Coefficient of Correlation

8.7K
The correlation coefficient, r, developed by Karl Pearson in the early 1900s, is numerical and provides a measure of strength and direction of the linear association between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Meridian Theory
  • Acupuncture Research

Background:

  • Meridian theory is central to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
  • The eight extra meridians are a key component of the meridian system.
  • Understanding meridian-viscus correlations is crucial for TCM diagnostics and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between the eight extra meridians and visceral organs.
  • To expand the existing meridian-viscus correlation theory.
  • To provide new research perspectives on the eight extra meridians.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the running courses of the eight extra meridians.
  • Review of diseases associated with the eight extra meridians.
  • Examination of modern research findings on the eight extra meridians.
  • Consideration of TCM theories on the affiliation of extra meridians to liver and kidney.
  • Evaluation of clinical applications of the eight confluence points.

Main Results:

  • Governor and Du vessels demonstrate a close relationship with the brain and kidney.
  • Conception and Chong vessels are associated with the kidney and uterus.
  • No defined visceral correlation was found for the Dai and Belt vessels.
  • The affiliation of eight extra meridians to the liver and kidney is supported by TCM theory.
  • Clinical use of eight confluence points provides evidence for meridian-viscus links.

Conclusions:

  • Specific eight extra meridians are correlated with particular viscera.
  • This research contributes to the meridian-viscus correlation theory.
  • New avenues for researching the eight extra meridians and their visceral connections are proposed.
