I want to assess whether or not there is a significant correlation
between two variables 'spend' and 'score' across time. Sounds easy, or
:-)
However, my data is structured as follows:
400.000 customers' 'spend' and 'score' has been observed for 17 time
periods. That gives me 34 variables for each customer:
spend_1 spend_2 ...etc..... and score_1 score_2....etc...
The theory is that there is a positive correlation between spending
behaviour and scoring but I don't know how to prove it.
Can anyone put me on the right track ?
My question is both theoretically and practically (using SAS).
