The Amazon recommendations we are offered are based on very sophisticated algorithms, which analyse our past purchases, correlating us with other users.

But the science of correlating particular agricultural practices with quantities of greenhouse gases is as yet far from precise.
By correlating classes of chemicals with biological activity, the program can tell researchers which features of a test compound are important.
He did this by correlating tackles and collisions against known indicators of skeletal muscle damage, like the hormone cortisol and the protein creatine kinase.
GAAP and NIPA earnings are in remarkable sync in the early years, with similar means and standard deviations, and with earnings changes correlating at 0.89 during 1950-1980.
After that, Seat will provide traffic forecasts produced by correlating past traffic patterns with variables including weather, the date and nearby events, says Mr Cellini.
Studies such as this one, which rely on correlating one variable with another, are not enough to draw firm conclusions on their own, since correlation is not necessarily causation.

Correlating those movements with consequences, such as the throwing of a bomb, allows them to develop computer models that link posture and consequence reasonably reliably.
