您可能想知道如何在寻找特定方向的相关性(负相关或正相关)的上下文中解释您的概率。这是我写的一个函数。它甚至可能是正确的!

这是基于我从http://www.vassarstats.net/rsig.html和http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t_distribution上收集到的信息，感谢这里发布的其他答案。

# Given (possibly random) variables, X and Y, and a correlation direction,
# returns:
#  (r, p),
# where r is the Pearson correlation coefficient, and p is the probability
# that there is no correlation in the given direction.
#
# direction:
#  if positive, p is the probability that there is no positive correlation in
#    the population sampled by X and Y
#  if negative, p is the probability that there is no negative correlation
#  if 0, p is the probability that there is no correlation in either direction
def probabilityNotCorrelated(X, Y, direction=0):
    x = len(X)
    if x != len(Y):
        raise ValueError("variables not same len: " + str(x) + ", and " + \
                         str(len(Y)))
    if x < 6:
        raise ValueError("must have at least 6 samples, but have " + str(x))
    (corr, prb_2_tail) = stats.pearsonr(X, Y)

    if not direction:
        return (corr, prb_2_tail)

    prb_1_tail = prb_2_tail / 2
    if corr * direction > 0:
        return (corr, prb_1_tail)

    return (corr, 1 - prb_1_tail)

def correlation_score(y_true, y_pred):
    """Scores the predictions according to the competition rules. 
    
    It is assumed that the predictions are not constant.
    
    Returns the average of each sample's Pearson correlation coefficient"""
    
    y2 = y_pred.copy()
    y2 -= y2.mean(axis=0);    y2 /= y2.std(axis=0) 
    y1 = y_true.copy(); 
    y1 -= y1.mean(axis=0);    y1 /= y1.std(axis=0) 
        
    c = (y1*y2).mean().mean()# Correlation for rescaled matrices is just matrix product and average 
        
    return c

从Python 3.10开始，Pearson的相关系数(statistics.correlation)可以直接在标准库中获得:

from statistics import correlation

# a = [15, 12, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 6, 5, 3]
# b = [10, 25, 17, 11, 13, 17, 20, 13, 9, 15]
correlation(a, b)
# 0.1449981545806852

Pearson相关性可以用numpy的corrcoef来计算。

import numpy
numpy.corrcoef(list1, list2)[0, 1]

你可以看看scipy.stats:

from pydoc import help
from scipy.stats.stats import pearsonr
help(pearsonr)

Help on function pearsonr in module scipy.stats.stats:

pearsonr(x, y)
 Calculates a Pearson correlation coefficient and the p-value for testing
 non-correlation.

 The Pearson correlation coefficient measures the linear relationship
 between two datasets. Strictly speaking, Pearson's correlation requires
 that each dataset be normally distributed. Like other correlation
 coefficients, this one varies between -1 and +1 with 0 implying no
 correlation. Correlations of -1 or +1 imply an exact linear
 relationship. Positive correlations imply that as x increases, so does
 y. Negative correlations imply that as x increases, y decreases.

 The p-value roughly indicates the probability of an uncorrelated system
 producing datasets that have a Pearson correlation at least as extreme
 as the one computed from these datasets. The p-values are not entirely
 reliable but are probably reasonable for datasets larger than 500 or so.

 Parameters
 ----------
 x : 1D array
 y : 1D array the same length as x

 Returns
 -------
 (Pearson's correlation coefficient,
  2-tailed p-value)

你可以看看这篇文章。这是一个使用pandas库(适用于Python)根据多个文件的历史外汇货币对数据计算相关性的示例，然后使用seaborn库生成热图图。
