I have finding correlation between the points i plot using this function which is not written by me. my
xarray=[120,110,130,132,120,118,134,105,120,0,0,0,0,137,125,120,127,120,160,120,148]
yarray=[80,70,70,80,70,62,69,70,70,62,90,42,80,72,0,0,0,0,78,82,68,60,58,82,60,76,86,82,70]
I can t able to understand the function perfectly. Can anybody explain it with the data i pasted here. I also wanted to remove the zeros getting calculated from this function.
