Correlation coefficients range from -1 to 1, where:

  • A value of 1 implies a perfect positive correlation.
  • A value of -1 implies a perfect negative correlation.
  • A value of 0 implies no correlation.

Based on the values provided, here is the interpretation and ranking from weakest to strongest correlation:

  1. 0.69846237 - Moderate positive correlation
  2. 0.72643969 - Moderate positive correlation (slightly stronger than the previous one)
  3. -0.98234651 - Very strong negative correlation
  4. -0.99872348 - Extremely strong negative correlation (strongest overall)

So, in order from weakest to strongest correlation:

  1. 0.69846237
  2. 0.72643969
  3. -0.98234651
  4. -0.99872348
