A spurious correlation is the implied causal relationship between events that are not linked.
A spurious relationship, also known as a spurious correlation, is a mathematical relationship between two or more events or variables that are not causally related to one another (i.e., they are independent), but which may lead one to incorrectly infer that they are due to coincidence or the presence of a specific third, unseen factor.
By looking at a city's ice cream sales, one can see an illustration of a fictitious relationship. When drownings in public pools are most prevalent, these purchases are at their highest. Any assertion that ice cream sales cause drowning or have the opposite effect is untrue. Actually, both may have been brought on by a heat wave. An example of a hidden or unobserved variable also referred to as a confounding variable, is the heat wave.
