In surveys, we find data that is "correlated", meaning one factor may have not directly interfered with another factor, yet the more of the X factor we have, the more of the Y factor we are likely to have (positive correlation).
For example, if a survey says that teenage girls who do not eat dinner with their family are more likely to become pregnant before age 17, then there is a positive correlation between teen girls not eating dinner with family & teen pregnancy.
Not eating dinner with one's family will not causepregnancy, but there is a strong relationship between the two. <--This is a positive correlation
To sum it up, correlation does not equal causation.
Relation, on the other hand, is cause and effect (almost the opposite of correlation).
Relation is cause & effect.

What is the difference between Multicollinearity and Autocorrelation?
The difference between multicollinearity and auto correlation is that multicollinearity is a linear relationship between 2 or more explanatory variables in a multiple regression while while auto-correlation is a type of correlation between values of a process at different points in time, as a function of the two times or of the time difference.

What is the relation between Matthew correlation coefficient Sensitivity and Specificity?
The Matthew correlation coefficient considers true and false positives and negatives. The specificity correlation only considers the true classes or rejections.

Is there a correlation of electron affinities to atomic radii?
The relation between electron affinity and atomic radius is inversely proportional.
What is the difference between correlation analysis and regression analysis?
In linear correlation analysis, we identify the strength and direction of a linear relation between two random variables. Correlation does not imply causation. Regression analysis takes the analysis one step further, to fit an equation to the data. One or more variables are considered independent variables (x1, x2, ... xn). responsible for the dependent or "response" variable or y variable.
