Add a indicating the degree of its validity to the value of a correlation.

The problem is that displayed correlations—for example, between factors and symptoms—may not be very meaningful if, for instance, the factor is only present on a few days. It would therefore be very informative to add a numerical indicator of validity to the percentage value of the correlations. This validity level should at least reflect how many days the measured correlation is based on. Additionally, it could for example also take temporal stability into account or how well the factor can be isolated from other factors in the data—or whether it consistently appears only within a cluster together with other factors. The latter, of course, is statistically more demanding.

    Yes, a straightforward way to do this would be to show statistical significance: a p-value of the difference of means using a t-test I imagine it would be too hard to implement since it’s just a mathematical formula From the UI side it could just be a binary thing showing “statistically significant” or “not significant” , depending on a p-value threshold (5% is the standard)

    And it would be nice to be able to filter out correlations that are not statistically significant from the insights tab
