Correlation methods of analysis aim to describe the correlation between two variables. Correlation analysis attests the relation between two or more variables, but does not measure the causal relation between them. Correlation analysis may also indicate the intensity of the relationship between variables.

If you intend to use correlation analysis, you need to know the basics of quantitative and statistical methods.
