"Correlation" refers to a relation existing between phenomena, attributes, behaviors, or things or between mathematical or statistical variables which tend to vary, be associated, or occur together in a way not expected on the basis of chance alone. (“Correlation.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, Accessed 10 Apr. 2020. Edited.) A relation/correlation may be represented in a variety of ways, including by use of numbers, formulas, graphs, diagrams or the like. In certain embodiments, the correlation may represent a one-way relationship between a first thing and a second thing, meaning the correlation exists from the first thing to the second thing but not from the second thing to the first thing. In other embodiments, the correlation may represent a two-way relationship between a first thing and a second thing, meaning that the same correlation exists in comparing the first thing to the second thing and from the second thing to the first thing.In certain embodiments, the correlation represents a magnitude and/or rate of change in an attribute or behavior between two or more things. Correlations may be observed, or derived, by testing and analysis of results from normal use, experiments, machine learning, or the like. Correlations between two things, such as memory cells, threshold voltages, memory die, memory states, cell threshold voltage distributions, or the like, may be characterized as positive correlations or negative correlations.
