    I Correlation Coefficient Clarification

    Let's say that the correlation coefficient between X and Y were swapped so that the correlation coefficient between Y and X. If we were to compared the correlation coefficient between X and Y and Y and X. Based on my understanding of correlation coefficient, it doesn't matter if f X and Y were...
