I heard someone arguing in a conference that when you use the word "association" it indicates to the result of a chi-square test and when you use the word "relation" it indicates to the result of correlation. Which means when you say "there is a significant association between X and Y" it means the test conducted was Chi-Square, and when you say that there is a significant relation between X and Y the test conducted was correlation. Is this argument correct?

    I don't think there's any reasonable basis for such a position. Did they give any argument to support this rather extraordinary claim? – Glen_b Feb 22 '15 at 06:06
