Introduction to Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient (Rs)
Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, denoted as Rs, measures the degree of a monotonic relationship between two ranked variables. Unlike Pearson's correlation, Rs is less affected by outliers and focuses on the order rather than the exact values.
Key Concepts
- Ranked Variables: Data points are converted into ranks, with the highest value assigned rank 1.
- Monotonic Relationship: Describes how one variable changes as the other increases or decreases. For example, if X increases and Y also increases, they have a positive monotonic relationship.
How to Rank Data
- Assign rank 1 to the highest value.
- For tied values, assign the average of their ranks.
Example Ranking
- Highest value 8.2 is rank 1.
- Three identical values ranked 2, 3, and 4 are averaged to rank 3.
- Two identical values 5.04 ranked 5 and 6 are averaged to 5.5.
Calculating Rs Using a Graphing Calculator
- Enter the original data into lists L1 and L2.
- Sort the lists to assign ranks.
- Clear previous data and input the ranks into L1 and L2.
- Enable diagnostics mode to calculate correlation.
- Use the calculator's statistical functions to compute Rs.
Example Calculation
- Wind speed data ranked from highest (30 mph) to lowest (6 mph) as ranks 1 to 6.
- Corresponding charging times ranked accordingly.
- Calculated Rs = 0.886, indicating a strong positive monotonic relationship.
Interpreting the Results
Since Rs is positive and close to 1, it indicates that as wind speed increases, the time to fully charge the robot also increases. This confirms a strong monotonic relationship between the two variables.
Summary
- Spearman's Rs measures monotonic relationships between ranked variables.
- Ranking involves assigning ranks and averaging ties.
- Graphing calculators can efficiently compute Rs.
- A positive Rs indicates both variables increase together.
This method is useful in experiments where data may not be normally distributed or when outliers are present, providing a robust measure of association.

today we will introduce spearman's coloration coefficient R sub s which is defined as the person's
coloration coefficient between the ranked variables it indicates the degree of a monotonic
relationship between the variables it is affected by outlier less than Pearson's coloration coefficient
for the experiments the collagen coefficient first of all
the keywords is the rank variables it's about coloration between the ranked variables second keyword is a
monotonical relationship how to describe the monotonical relationship
you will use the following sentence when X increases what about y increases or weight decreases how to
label the rank the highest number will be rank 1. 8.2 is rank 1. then
the second highest one I have three numbers exactly the same but I still label as a two three four
then I have a 5.04 5.04 I will label as a 5 6 even they are the same
then I have a seven eight nine
ten then for the same number you will add this ranking
together divided by three four plus three plus two divided by three
will be three so
the rank for 7.5 well is a three for 5.4 we've got
rank of five and a six so five plus six divided by two equals 5.5
the rank will be 5.5 for both 5.04 this is a one seven nine
eight ten that's how you
rank the data now let's go to 1G calculate the Spearman coloration coefficient R sub s
between the wind speed and the time to fully charge the robot since we already put
l y and L2 into the graphing calculator we will use calculator to do the rank
for the L3 we will put one two three
four five six
then we go back to stat d enter
we want to sort L what then enter that you need to sort L2 also
second two is L2 enter then then we go back to stat edit you could say
L1 L2 assorted from a heist to the lowest this will be the rancor for each number
for x wind speed 30 is 1 28 is 2 24 is a 3. 16 is a 4. 10 is a five well six is a six
after we put the rank we need to put this record into L1 and L2
this will be L1 this will be L2 so go to the calculator make a cursor
highlighter L1 then press up clear enter
they will clear the data in L1 then highlight L2 press clear enter
it will clear L2 so for L1 that is a 6. 5.
4 three two
one for L2 5 6 4 3 1 2.
then press mode to make us that Diagnostics on then quit
go to stat again calculate then go to 4.
this time we only focus on these are this is a spearman's collusion
coefficient it's about the coloration between rank variables these are equals 0.886
so we get this experiments coloration coefficient R sub s equals 0.886
1K describe monotonic relationship between the wind speed and the time to fully charge the robot since this R is
greater than zero which means when wind speed increases the timer to fully charge the robot
increases so the monotonic relationship between wind speed and the time to fully charge
the robot is that when the wind speed increases
the time to fully charge the robot increases
