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 уживання:
[A] correlate[s] with [B]
Поширена помилка:
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'.
Синоніми

to compare data to show relationship
To put two or more sets of information together and check how they are connected.
Модель уживання:
[someone] correlate[s] [A] with [B]
Поширена помилка:
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.'
Синоніми
match (Focuses on pairing similar items, without always suggesting a detailed or statistical analysis.)
Антоніми
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.

Поширена помилка:
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').
Синоніми
associated factor (Less technical and more descriptive; clearly signals that it is one of several related influences.)
Антоніми
independent factor (Suggests a factor that does not vary together with the one being studied.)
