This response indicates the function is not defined.
To use Correlation you must either load the standard package where it is defined or define it yourself.
You can load the package with any of the following
Get@"Statistics`MultiDescriptiveStatistics`"
<<Satistics`MultiDescriptiveStatstics`
Needs@"Statistics`MultiDescriptiveStatistics`
Note, the above only makes the functions defined in the package MultiDescriptiveStatistics availble for use. If you are going to be working with statistical proceedures, you may find it more convienent to use
<<Statistics`
which loads stubs for all of the statistical packages in the standard distribution. Then simply using any function defined in these packages will cause Mathematica to load the appropriate package and evaluate the function as you want.
Also, you have to load the packages *before* attempting to use the function. Otherwise, Mathematica will not evaluate the function as you expect.
