Pearson's correlation coefficient suggests that effective spacing has a large positive correlation (r = 0.68) with the outcome, capture efficiency. Flow discharge has a negative correlation (r = −0.53) with capture efficiency, and runtime has a positive correlation (r = 0.49). All these results are statistically significant with P < 0.001 (see Table 3).
