So pick a latitude and see how temperature and cloud cover co-vary. ❋ Unknown (2009)
This paper explores whether spatial variation in the biodiversity values of vertebrates and plants (species richness, range-size rarity and number or proportion of IUCN Red Listed threatened species) of three African tropical mountain ranges (Eastern Arc, Albertine Rift and Cameroon-Nigeria mountains within the Biafran Forests and Highlands) co-vary with proxy measures of threat (human population density and human infrastructure). ❋ Unknown (2007)
In order for variable X to be the cause of variable Y, (1) X must precede Y in time-order, (2) the two variables must be related, or co-vary, and (3) X must have a “forcing quality” on Y. ❋ Everett M. Rogers (1995)
Dr. Singley identifies four practical issues that co-vary with poor academic performance, and his research has shown that by attacking those four symptoms, the primary issue -- poor grades -- can be improved markedly. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Emotions are sometimes said to be subjective in this sense: that they merely reflect something that belongs exclusively and contingently to the mind of the subject of experience, and therefore do not co-vary with any property that could be independently identified. ❋ De Sousa, Ronald (2007)
Epidemiologists only establish associations that by themselves tell us nothing except that certain variables happen to co-vary in a regular manner. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The changes in Oman coldwater diatoms co-vary with the stalagmite dO18, which is proxy for monsoon precipitation as is the coldwater diatom series. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Functions can therefore distinguish between two properties that reliably co-vary as long as one but not the other caused the trait to be selected. ❋ Neander, Karen (2004)
In order for variable X to be the cause of variable Y, (1) X must precede Y in time-order, (2) the two variables must be related, or co-vary, and (3) X must have a “forcing quality” on Y (meaning that X must have a theoretical basis for affecting Y). ❋ Everett M. Rogers (2003)
Next, the age and sex distribution is examined for a variety of social behaviors which co-vary along these biosocial dimensions e.g. voting, religion, consumption, sexual behavior, crime, etc. ❋ Douglas L. Anderton (1997)
What it comes down to, it's sort of like looking at teachers 'salaries and the consumption of alcohol — statistically, they co-vary, but ❋ Unknown (1986)
An understanding of how AIDS knowledge and sexual activity co-vary among Flemish secondary school students and of how education type, specifically, affects these students is limited. ❋ Ronan Van Rossem (2010)
However, certain batted ball statistics do co-vary with pitch type. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The main points: the correlation coefficient is "a statistic representing how closely two variables co-vary; it can vary from -1 (perfect negative correlation) through 0 (no correlation) to 1." ❋ Unknown (2009)
