does oversampling affect the correlation? if yes, how to avoid that?
I have a dataset of monthly data. One column is my target variable and all the other are my feature. I have computed correlation between my target and all the other feature and then I made linear regression and got my betas and R2.
Now my question is more theoretical. if I oversample to daily data (I used a linear interpolation) and compute again correlation, betas and R2, they have changed a lot. Can anybody explain me why that happens? is correlation affected by oversampling?I might expect my betas to change because I have much more data after oversampling and so the R2, but not really the correlation if the size of my monthly data was already quite large. Also, is it possible to oversample two time series by forcing them to have the same correlation as they had before being oversampled? Thanks
