Abstract
Relations can be used to model dependencies, correlations, or connections between variables, quantities, or attributes. Technically speaking, a (binary) relation over the universes of discourse X and Y is a subset R of the Cartesian product \(X \times Y\) of X and Y. The pairs \((x,y) \in X \times Y\) belonging to the relation R are linked by a connection described by the relation R. Therefore, a common notation for \((x,y) \in R\) is also xRy.
