Summary

Description
English: This figure gives a sense of how the usefulness of a Pearson correlation for predicting values varies with its magnitude. Given jointly normal X, Y with correlation ρ, (plotted here as a function of ρ) is the factor by which a given prediction interval for Y may be reduced given the corresponding value of X. For example, if ρ = .5, then the 95% prediction interval of Y|X will be about 13% smaller than the 95% prediction interval of Y.

The formula coincides with the "forecasting efficiency" value E defined by:
