Hi Bruce,
correlation ratio (eta) is different from correlation coefficient (rho).
While correlation coefficient captures only a linear relationship btw
variables, correlation ratio captures both linear and non-linear
relationships. It is the defined as the ratio of the variance between
arrays to the total variance.
Thanks,
Suman
