    The correlation coefficient ρ, expressed as an autocorrelation function or cross-correlation function, depends on the lag-time between the times being considered.Typically such functions, ρ(t), decay to zero with increasing lag-time, but they can assume values across all levels of correlations: strong and weak, and positive and negative as in the table.

    Allee effects are classified by the nature of density dependence at low densities. If the population shrinks for low densities, there is a strong Allee effect. If the proliferation rate is positive and increasing then there is a weak Allee effect. The null hypothesis is that proliferation rates are positive but decreasing at low densities.

They chose terms that met a strong correlation to one corresponding dimension but exhibited a weak correlation to the other.
