### In science:

We note that correlation of local statistics arises naturally from correlation of expression among genes. A simulation study based on a real microarray data set exhibits the extreme anti-conservative behavior of Class 1 tests in the presence of realistic levels of correlation in expression.
A statistical framework for testing functional categories in microarray data
Like both Pearson’s correlation coeﬃcients and Spearman’s rank correlation coeﬃcients, the quotient correlation coeﬃcients and the rank based quotient correlation coeﬃcients measure the level of agreement between two random variables.
Quotient correlation: A sample based alternative to Pearson's correlation
Another issue that needs careful treatment is the question of correlation among different measurements, e.g. due to using the same theory for calculating acceptances. A common practice is to set the correlation coeﬃcient to unity to indicate full correlation.
For the case of pion-pion correlations, the extracted free correlation function is almost identical with the actual correlation function of non-interaction particles.
Test of Bowler-Sinyukov Treatment of Coulomb Interaction
We calculated the correlation of gene expression patterns between each pair of individuals and used these correlations as a distance metric for clustering (distance = 1− correlation).

This function evidences three parameters that characterize the (isotropic) stochastic ﬁeld: the amplitude Φ = pE (0, 0), the correlation time τ c , which is the decay time of the Eulerian correlation and the correlation length λc , which is the characteristic decay distance.
Trapping, anomalous transport and quasi-coherent structures in magnetically confined plasmas
To implement conditional preparation requires two correlated states, however this correlation need not be entanglement—classical correlations can be suffcient.

Later in this review, when we use this correlator to estimate the correlations between shapes, we take the ratio between the smallest and largest k to be 2/800, close to that in WMAP. A more precise correlator should be computed in the l-space in the same way that the estimator is constructed.
Primordial Non-Gaussianities from Inflation Models
Note that there obviously have to be entangled states, which do not violate any Bell inequality, since these represent an upper bound to correlations and do not distinguish between classical correlations (which result from mixing of pure product states) and quantum correlations.
Quantum Entanglement and Geometry
Although new effects from correlations are most pronounced in the regime of strong correlations Γ ≪ U , interesting quantum ﬂuctuation effects already start to become visible in the regime of moderate correlations Γ ∼ U , where perturbative and mean-ﬁeld theories are often not yet applicable.
Charge transport through single molecules, quantum dots, and quantum wires
To model the counts in correlated ﬁelds, we use a standard Cholesky decomposition technique to instill the distribution of galaxy overdensities with the correlation matrix Σ, and then Poisson-sample the correlated distribution to generate the counts in each ﬁeld.

That is, it seems from these results that, in terms of average accuracy, it is more important to make effective use of low-order correlations from all available SNPs that are correlated with the target untyped SNP than to take account of unusual higher-order correlations that may occasionally exist.
Using linear predictors to impute allele frequencies from summary or pooled genotype data
We searched for the largest marginal probability P (a|x) numerically among all possible quantum correlations, i.e. correlations that can be achieved by measuring a quantum state, as well as among all no-signaling correlations, denoting this largest quantity by P ∗ (A|X ).
