# Pearson Regression
|
||||
|
||||
**Tier:** 1-Beginner
|
||||
|
||||
There are few, if any, applications that don't require some form of
|
||||
cross-disciplinary knowledge in order to implement useful functionality for
|
||||
a user. In the case of an app for the medical profession it might be domain
|
||||
expertise in biology or pharmacology. A paint manufacturer or a crop science
|
||||
business might rely on apps with an intimate knowledge of chemistry. And, a
|
||||
payroll application will certainly incorporate HR and accounting concepts.
|
||||
|
||||
Regardless of the industry segement an app is developed for one cross domain
|
||||
expertise in common with them all is mathematics. As an application developer
|
||||
you don't have to be a mathemetician, but it's useful to have an understanding
|
||||
of how to apply mathematical concepts to the problems you are trying to solve.
|
||||
|
||||
The objective of this app is to apply the Pearson Correlation Coefficient
|
||||
against two sets of data to provide the user with the degree to which they
|
||||
may or may not be related. For example, given a set of temperatures and another
|
||||
set of car prices this would let the user test whether or not they are related
|
||||
(spoiler alert: they are unrelated!).
|
||||
|
||||
### Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
- The Developer must program all calculations without relying on a package.
|
||||
|
||||
## User Stories
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] User can see an input panel with two input fields allowing entry of `x`
|
||||
and `y` coordinates, and 'Add' and 'Calculate' buttons.
|
||||
- [ ] User can enter numbers into these boxes where `x` and `y` are observations
|
||||
from the two data sets.
|
||||
- [ ] User can click the 'Add' button to add the `x` and `y` to a tabular
|
||||
output area listing the pairs of observations.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see and error message if either of the two input fields are
|
||||
empty or do not contain valid real numbers.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see the 'Calculate' button is disabled until errors have been
|
||||
corrected.
|
||||
- [ ] User can click the 'Calculate' button to perform the regression analysis
|
||||
and to display its results.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see results of the calculation which include:
|
||||
- Arithmetic means for both the `x` and `y` observations
|
||||
- Standard deviations for both the `x` and `y` observations
|
||||
- Pearson correlation coefficient with one of the following interpretations:
|
||||
- No correlation
|
||||
- Neutral
|
||||
- Some correlation
|
||||
|
||||
## Bonus features
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] User can see a scatter plot of the observations
|
||||
- [ ] User can upload observations from a file on the local machine.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see a regression line overlaying the scatter plot
