Curious to know how you are looking at an R2 value (correlation coefficient) of 0.53 to 0.63 in Figure 1a, and interpreting that as 'strong statistical correlation' -- that is pretty terrible actually (most highschool AP chemistry students can produce values of 0.8 - 0.9 for titration curves, for instance).
- martingoodson 9y agoThe correlation between sea surface temperature and hurricane intensity was significant with a p-value < 0.0001. Anything less than 0.001 is defined as 'very strong evidence' [1]. High school chemistry experiments are not like measuring natural phenomena (like weather) which show much more variation.
