correlation
correlation 1. In stratigraphy, correlation is the establishment of a correspondence between stratigraphic units. It depends on the similarities that exist in terms of
lithology or
fossil content. Isolated stratigraphic units, or successions, may be either ‘correlated’, i.e. they were once physically continuous, or time-correlated, i.e. equated in terms of time.
2. In geostatistics, correlation is a technique used to determine the degree of association between two data sets.
3. In geophysics, the comparison of one wave-form with another in the
time domain. It is analogous to
coherence in the
frequency domain. See
AUTOCORRELATION; and
CROSS-CORRELATION.
