While the absolute values differ by orders of magnitude, the relative positions (in parentheses) are more stable. We can get a quantitative measure of the correlation between the various measurements and PingER by plotting each value against the PIngER value and calculating the R2 which is a measure of how much of the variance in y is explained by the model x (or in our case PingER). We do this for the measurements that have > data for >
