Please explain the context of this question.

Answer 2

You take a lot of data, then do statistical analysis looking for correlation coefficents (including autocorrelation coefficents).

Example: variables: age, gender, race, anxiety in the study of hypertension

You take a lot of data, then do sorting, analysis of the sorts, and look for your correlation coefficents.
