A correlation factor may represent how one memory state relates to another memory state such that multiplying the correlation factor by a current read level results in a correlated read level modified to account for the correlation. A correlation factor may be a real number and may be a positive number reflecting a positive correlation, a negative number reflecting a negative correlation, a zero representing no correlation, or a 1 representing a complete correlation. Correlation factors may be helpful in modifying a value to reflect a correlation. For example, in one embodiment, the value may be multiplied by a correlation factor such that the value then accounts for the correlation.
