Hello everyone,
My boss has asked me to find if there is any correlation between various sample parameters in a water quality study. We took around 150 samples, and for each one measured around 50 parameters e.g. iron content, free residual chlorine, level of coliforms, pH, etc etc.
I always avoided stats through school, and having spent a couple of hours reading up about my options for doing this analysis on the internet, I remember why.
So, please, in simple terms, can someone explain to me:
What function or statistical analysis technique(s) I could/should use for this analysis
What (ideally free) software is available to do it
THANK YOU!
Ralph
