Wikipedia

In statistics and probability theory, correlation (also called correlation coefficient) means the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two random variables.

In general statistical usage, "correlation" means the departure of two variables from independence, although correlation does not imply causation.

A number of different coefficients are used for different situations..
