Correlation Matrix The correlation coefficient matrix is normally used to measure the degree of correlation between logarithms of the elemental concentrations [ 70 ], and this matrix for the heavy metals of paddy showed highly significant positive correlations between the pairs of elements of soil samples—Cd-Pb (0.65), Cr-Pb (0.95), Zn-Pb (0.96), Cd-Cr (0.83), Cd-Zn (0.69), and Cr-Zn (0.98) ( Table 5(a) ).
