The phrase "association coefficient" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in statistical contexts to describe a measure of the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables.
Example: "The association coefficient between the two variables indicates a strong positive correlation."
Alternatives: "correlation coefficient" or "association measure".
The first component was closely associated with TP (association coefficient: 0.864), TN (association coefficient: 0.847) and also with salinity (association coefficient: − 0.586) and served to separate sampled coastal sites from sampled estuarine sites.
Based on the categories in WCG network, the relatedness between concepts at the correspondence position of the two sorted concept sets is computed as the association coefficient.
The second component showed a close association among both temperature (association coefficient: 0.919) and suspended solids (SS) (association coefficient: − 0.750) and a looser association with salinity (association coefficient: 0.305) and served to separate sampled seasons.

The most common approach, which we study in this paper, uses molecules characterised by 2D fingerprints, with the similarity between a reference structure and a database structure calculated using an association coefficient such as the Tanimoto coefficient [1, 8].
To test the strength of associations and association coefficient (AC) index (Hurlbert 1969; Ofomata et al. 1999; Su et al. 2015) was used to further verify the results of the Chi square test.
The association coefficients were negative between ASD and MS. Significant associations between ASD and two autoimmune disorders were identified.
The relation between plant cover, topography and runoff was inspected with non-parametric association coefficients based on high resolution remotely sensed imagery, ground truth topographic elevation and spatial-explicit field data on potential runoff.
In fact, the two groups of control for the respective age groups had the highest association coefficients (Jaccard) with internal locus of control, both with Jaccard values of 0.63.
In our approach, the two groups of similarity measures were used, the first group is seven of the association coefficients: Jaccard/Tanimoto, Ochiai/Cosine, Sokal/Sneath(1), Kulczynski(2), Forbes, Fossum and Simpson; the second group is four of the distance coefficients: Mean Euclidean, Mean Canberra, Divergence and Bray/Curtis.
Regarding the external locus, the two highest association coefficients were found for the maltreatment group with insecure attachment in both age groups, these being 0.51 for the 5 9 years age group and 0.56 for the 10 14 years age group (Fig. 1).
