Statistical analysis for analysing correlation

Rationale of use

In Romania, correlation analysis was used to verify the relationship between needs, objectives, and financial allocations. Given time constraints, more sophisticated models were not feasible, so a simpler spreadsheet-based computation approach was chosen.

Functioning

The tool uses spreadsheet-based analyses to study the correlation between various factors.

Types of outputs

The tool contributed to the Ex-ante Evaluation report by providing recommendations to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), based on the correlation analyses.
