The goal of this exercise is to get acquainted with the correlation coefficient. Try to design an artificial data set containing 20 "measurements" on 4 variables (v1..v4). The variables v2 to v4 should be correlated to variable v1, showing the following approximate (+/- 0.1) correlation coefficients ri,j:
r1,2 = 0.0
r1,3 = 0.9
r1,4 = -0.9
Use the for
