Refer to the Spearman rank correlation coefficient of

Chapter 15, Problem 78SE

(choose chapter or problem)

Refer to the Spearman rank correlation coefficient of Section 15.10. Show that, when there are no ties in either the x observations or the y observations, then

\(r_{S}=\frac{n \sum_{i=1}^{n} R\left(x_{1}\right) R\left(y_{1}\right)-\left[\sum_{i=1}^{n} R\left(x_{1}\right)\right]\left[\sum_{i=1}^{n} R\left(y_{i}\right)\right]}{\sqrt{\left\{n \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[R\left(x_{i}\right)\right]^{2}-\left[\sum_{i=1}^{n} R\left(x_{1}\right)\right]^{2}\right\}\left\{n \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[R\left(y_{1}\right)\right]^{2}-\left[\sum_{i=1}^{n} R\left(y_{1}\right)\right]^{2}\right\}}}\)

                               \(=1-\frac{6 \Sigma_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}^{2}}{n\left(n^{2}-1\right)}\),

                  where di = R (xi) - R (yi).

Text Transcription:

r{S}=frac{n sum{i=1}^{n} R(x{1}) R(y{1})-[\sum{i=1}^{n} R(x{1})][sum{i=1}^{n} R(y{i})]}{sqrt{\{n sum{i=1}^{n}[R(x{i})]^{2}-[sum{i=1}^{n} R(x{1})]^{2}}{n sum{i=1}^{n}[R(y{1})]^{2}-[sum{i=1}^{n} R(y{1}]^{2}}}}

= 1 - 6 the sum from i=1 to n d_i^2/n(n^2-1)
