An association in statistics is the degree to which the occurrence of two variables or events is linked. Association describes a situation where the likelihood of one event occurring depends on the presence of another event or variable.
However, an association between two variables does not necessarily imply a cause and effect relationship. The term association and relationship are often used interchangeably.
