Salt is essential to keeping our roads and walkways safe when it snows. But when salt is washed off the roads, how does it impact nearby microorganisms? Read about a recent @AginArk study on it at aaes.uada.edu/news/road-salt…. @bumperscollege @ecospeir @speirsquad

The correlation coefficient fully characterizes the relationship between two features only in the case of a bivariate Gaussian distribution, where it captures both the linear dependence and the strength of the relationship. When I teach this, I show students what this looks like with my interactive @matplotlib #Python dashboard, shared on #GibHub @ github.com/GeostatsGuy/DataS… ∀. #DataScience #DataAnalytics
