| Jul 20, 2011 at 12:30 | comment | added | Glen | I would just like to add a slope can be very significant (p-value<.001) even though the relationship is weak, especially with a large sample size. This was hinted at in most of the answers as that the slope (even if it's significant) says nothing about the strength of the relationship. | |
| Jul 20, 2011 at 0:34 | comment | added | Mog | Ah, ok. That makes a little more sense than whether the two variables themselves are correlated...after all, I thought that's what I was trying to find using the regression. And that failing the test indicates I should be cautious interpreting the slope and p-value makes even more sense in this case! Thanks @whuber! | |

| Jul 19, 2011 at 21:29 | comment | added | whuber♦ | The Durbin-Watson statistic is a test for serial correlation: that is, to see whether adjacent error terms are mutually correlated. It says nothing about the correlation between your X and your Y! Failing the test is an indication that the slope and p-value should be interpreted with caution. | |
