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.
