When to use the Spearman Correlation test

What does the Speaman Correlation measure?

  • It is most commonly used to measure the degree and direction of a linear relation between two variables that are of the ordinal type.

What are the assumptions of the Spearman Correlation test?

  • two variables that are either ordinal, interval or ratio (note: if the data are interval or ratio, normally you would use a Pearson correlation test)
  • the relationship between the variables is monotonic, or (curvi)linear
