Definitions:

Pearson Coefficient

A measure of the linear correlation between two variables, ranging from -1 to 1, where 1 implies a perfect positive correlation and -1 a perfect negative correlation.

Incidence of Skin Cancer

The rate or frequency at which new cases of skin cancer occur in a specified population over a given time period.

UV's

Ultraviolet rays, a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays, which can contribute to skin damage and cancer.

Standard Error of Estimate

A measure that quantifies the accuracy of a prediction made by a regression line, indicating the average distance that the observed values fall from the regression line.
