Correlation

 the concept of correlation between different variables and how it's a statistical metric for measuring the extent to which variables are interdependent. Here's a summary of the key points covered:


Understanding Correlation:


Correlation measures the relationship between two variables over time or across different observations.

It indicates how one variable changes when the other variable changes.

For example, smoking is correlated with lung cancer, and rain is correlated with the use of umbrellas.

Correlation vs. Causation:


It's important to note that correlation does not imply causation.

Just because two variables are correlated does not mean that one causes the other. There could be other factors at play.

Visualizing Correlation:


Scatter plots with regression lines are commonly used to visualize the correlation between two variables.

A regression line indicates the relationship between the two variables, showing whether they have a positive or negative correlation.

A positive correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. A negative correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

Using Seaborn regplot:


The Seaborn library provides a convenient way to create scatter plots with regression lines using the regplot function.

Examples of Correlation:


In the example provided, there is a positive correlation between engine size and price. As engine size increases, the price also increases.

Conversely, there is a negative correlation between highway miles per gallon and price. As highway miles per gallon increases, the price decreases.

Weak correlation occurs when there is little to no relationship between the variables. For example, the relationship between RPM and price may be weak, as both low and high RPM values correspond to varying prices.

Understanding correlation helps in analyzing the relationships between variables and identifying factors that may influence certain outcomes, such as car prices in the examples provided.

Common cybersecurity terminology

  As you’ve learned, cybersecurity (also known as security) is the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by protecting networks, devices, people, and data from unauthorized access or criminal exploitation. In this reading, you’ll be introduced to some key terms used in the cybersecurity profession. Then, you’ll be provided with a resource that’s useful for staying informed about changes to cybersecurity terminology. Key cybersecurity terms and concepts There are many terms and concepts that are important for security professionals to know. Being familiar with them can help you better identify the threats that can harm organizations and people alike. A security analyst or cybersecurity analyst focuses on monitoring networks for breaches. They also help develop strategies to secure an organization and research information technology (IT) security trends to remain alert and informed about potential threats. Additionally, an analyst work...
