relation
1
to have a measurable relationship
To have a clear connection with something else, so that when one thing changes, the other usually changes too.
Модель употребления:
[A] correlate[s] with [B]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes use 'correlate' to mean 'cause'. However, if two things correlate, they only change together; we do NOT automatically know that one causes the other. Also, in scientific and technical writing, 'correlate with' is usually preferred over 'correlate to'.
Синонимы
relate (More general and less technical; does not specifically suggest a measurable or statistical relationship.)
Антонимы
be unrelated to (States that there is no meaningful or measurable relationship between two things.)

2
to compare data to show relationship
To put two or more sets of information together and check how they are connected.
Модель употребления:
[someone] correlate[s] [A] with [B]
Частая ошибка:
Learners may use this transitive sense without an object, saying things like '*We correlated yesterday*'. In this meaning, 'correlate' almost always needs objects, such as 'correlated the results with the survey data.'
Синонимы
match (Focuses on pairing similar items, without always suggesting a detailed or statistical analysis.)
Антонимы
separate (Emphasizes keeping data apart instead of bringing it together to find relationships.)

a thing measurably linked to another
Something that has a clear and measurable connection with another thing.
Модель употребления:
[something] is a correlate of [something]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes treat 'correlate' as a countable or uncountable noun incorrectly in technical writing. It is normally countable in this sense (e.g. 'a strong correlate of X', 'several correlates of Y').
Синонимы
associated factor (Less technical and more descriptive; clearly signals that it is one of several related influences.)
Антонимы
independent factor (Suggests a factor that does not vary together with the one being studied.)

having a corresponding relationship
Having a clear relationship with something else, so that the two things go together or match.
Модель употребления:

This adjective form is rare; learners often try to use it where the verb 'correlate' or the adjective 'correlated' would be more natural, e.g. 'the two variables are correlated' instead of '*are correlate*'.
Синонимы
