Summary
Review of correlation and simple linear regression. Introduction to lagged (cross-) correlation for identifying recurrent and periodic features in common between pairs of time-series, statistical evidence of possible causal relationships. Introduction to (lagged) autocorrelation for identifying recurrent and periodic features in time-series. Use of correlation and simple linear regression for statistical comparison of time-series to reference datasets, with focus on periodic (sinusoidal) reference datasets. Interpretation of statistical effect-size and significance (p-value).
