We present preliminary results from the statistical analysis of the correlation between the radio and far infrared fluxes in samples of compact groups of galaxies, and isolated galaxies. We use 1.4 GHz fluxes from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) and infrared fluxes at 22 microns from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). We show variations on the behavior of this correlation for the different samples. This correlation has been studied by several authors for different samples of isolated galaxies and groups of galaxies.
