  1. Note that given the length of record, the threshold correlation for 2-sided null hypothesis test p < 0.05 is ± 0.4 – values in this category are marked**. For p < 0.1 the threshold is ± 0.336 – values in this category are marked*
  2. Bold text for the p<0.1 (*) numbers and bold underline text for the p<0.05 (**) number.
