Correlation of 2 variables?

maz09
Hi,

I am trying to work out how to correlate activity times between two species to see if they are both active or inactive at the same time. However, I can't seem to work out how to arrange this or analyse it so it takes into account both the time and the species and compares the two as I am not allowed to include string in the correlation analysis.

I tried to overcome this by denoting Fox as "1" and rabbit as "2" but I think this has confused the programme more. Here is an example of the columns:

Time Fox Rabbit

00:00 12 5
01:00 8 9
02:00 15 3
03:00 16 8


The numbers underneath each species denote percentage of the total number of individuals of that species recorded as being active at that time.


How do I go about arrange the data and using the correlation analysis to show these?




Many thanks.
