sublime correlation
origin:
sub·lime ( P ) Pronunciation Key (s-blm)adj. Characterized by nobility; majestic.
Of high spiritual, moral, or intellectual worth. Not to be excelled; supreme. Inspiring awe; impressive. Archaic. Raised aloft; set high. Obsolete. Of lofty appearance or bearing; haughty: “not terrible,/That I should fear... /But solemn and sublime” (John Milton).
n. Something sublime. An ultimate example. v. sub·limed, sub·lim·ing, sub·limes v. tr. To render sublime. Chemistry. To cause to sublimate. v. intr. Chemistry To sublimate.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------[French, from Old French, sublimated, from Latin sublmis, uplifted.]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------sub·limely adv. sub·limeness or sub·limi·ty (s-blm-t) n.
Main Entry: sub·limePronunciation: s&-'blImFunction: verbInflected Forms: sub·limed; sub·lim·ingtransitive senses: to cause to pass from the solid to the vapor state by heating and to condense back to solid form sublime intransitive senses: to pass directly from the solid to the vapor state
sublimeadj 1: inspiring awe; "well-meaning ineptitude that rises to empyreal absurdity"- M.S.Dworkin; "empyrean aplomb"- Hamilton Basso; "the sublime beauty of the night" [syn: empyreal, empyrean] 2: worthy of adoration or reverence [syn: revered, reverenced, reverend, venerated] 3: lifted up or set high; "their hearts were jocund and sublime"- Milton v 1: vaporize and then condense right back again [syn: sublimate] 2: change or cause to change directly from a solid into a vapor without first melting; "sublime iodine"; "some salts sublime when heated" [syn: sublimate]
C O R R E L A T I O N SUBLIMECORRELATIONS U B L I M E
origin:
cor·re·la·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kôr-lshn, kr-)n. A causal, complementary, parallel, or reciprocal relationship, especially a structural, functional, or qualitative correspondence between two comparable entities: a correlation between drug abuse and crime. Statistics. The simultaneous change in value of two numerically valued random variables: the positive correlation between cigarette smoking and the incidence of lung cancer; the negative correlation between age and normal vision. An act of correlating or the condition of being correlated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Medieval Latin correlti, correltin- : Latin com-, com- + Latin relti, relation, report (from reltus, past participle of referre, to carry back. See relate).]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------corre·lation·al adj. correlationThe relationship between two variables during a period of time, especially one that shows a close match between the variables' movements. For example, all utility stocks tend to have a high degree of correlation because their share prices are influenced by the same forces. Conversely, gold stock price movements are not closely correlated with utility stock price movements because the two are influenced by very different factors. The concept of correlation is frequently used in portfolio analysis. See also serial correlation.

correlationn 1: a reciprocal relation between two or more things [syn: correlativity] 2: a statistic representing how closely two variables co-vary; it can vary from -1 (perfect negative correlation) through 0 (no correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation); "what is the correlation between those two variables?" [syn: correlation coefficient, coefficient of correlation] 3: a statistical relation between two or more variables such that systematic changes in the value of one variable are accompanied by systematic changes in the other [syn: correlational statistics]
