Empirical Size, Coverage, and Power of Confidence Intervals for Spearman's Rho.

Caruso, John C.; Cliff, Norman

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v57 n4 p637-54 Aug 1997

Several methods of constructing confidence intervals for Spearman's rho (rank correlation coefficient) (C. Spearman, 1904) were tested in a Monte Carlo study using 2,000 samples of 3 different sizes. Results support the continued use of Spearman's rho in behavioral research. (SLD)
