Calculate Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (ρ)
About Spearman Correlation
Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (ρ) measures the monotonic relationship between two variables using ranks instead of raw values.
Formula: ρ = 1 - (6Σd²) / (n(n² - 1))
Where d is the difference between ranks of corresponding values.
Range: -1 to 1
- ρ = 1: Perfect positive monotonic relationship
- ρ = -1: Perfect negative monotonic relationship
- ρ = 0: No monotonic relationship
Unlike Pearson correlation, Spearman's rho doesn't assume linear relationship or normal distribution.
