HI All ,
I need small help in interpreting the results of cross correlation.i am using it for classification problem where my target is a binary (yes or no) and most of my input variables are polynomials and i ran the correlation after converting them to numerical variables .lets take one example where i have variable1(V1,V2,V4,V5) and variable2 (T1,T2,T3,T5) and i got the correlation result of V1 and T1 as 0.345 and i don't understand how to interpret this value in relation to my binary target.Could ou please help .
Regards,
Vishnu

You shouldn't interpret the correlation coefficent at all for nominal variables! I believe the internal calculation is just the correlation based on ranked category values, but this is rarely meaningful.
