Spearman Rank Correlation Calculation

calculate the coefficient of rank correaltion from the


following data:
X 48 33 40 09 16 16 65 24 16 57
Y 13 13 24 06 15 04 20 09 06 19

To calculate the coefficient of rank correlation (Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient),


follow these steps:

Step 1: Rank the data


Assign ranks to the X and Y values. If there are tied values, assign the average of their
ranks.

Step 2: Calculate d (difference in ranks)


For each pair of X and Y , calculate d = Rx − Ry , where Rx and Ry are the ranks of X and
​ ​ ​ ​

Y , respectively.

Step 3: Compute d2
Square each d.

Step 4: Use Spearman's formula

6 ∑ d2
rs = 1 −
n(n2 − 1)
​ ​

where:

rs is Spearman's rank correlation coefficient,


​

∑ d2 is the sum of squared rank differences,


n is the number of observations.

Let's calculate this step by step.

The calculated Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (rs ) is approximately 0.752. This
​

indicates a strong positive correlation between X and Y .

Here is the breakdown of the ranks and calculations:

1/2
X Y Rank X Rank Y d (Rank Difference) d2
48 13 8.0 5.5 2.5 6.25

33 13 6.0 5.5 0.5 0.25

40 24 7.0 10.0 -3.0 9.00

9 6 1.0 2.5 -1.5 2.25

16 15 3.0 7.0 -4.0 16.00

16 4 3.0 1.0 2.0 4.00

65 20 10.0 9.0 1.0 1.00

24 9 5.0 4.0 1.0 1.00

16 6 3.0 2.5 0.5 0.25

57 19 9.0 8.0 1.0 1.00

The total ∑ d2 is 41.0, and using n = 10, the formula yields rs = 0.752. ​
