Hi everyone,
A colleague is seeking help and any assistance would be warmly
received. If you reply to my personal email address, please
indicate whether it's all right to include your response in a
summary.
Colleague's question:
I would like to know whether there is a way to calculate the
confidence interval for Spearman's rank correlation, as a means
of summarizing the uncertainty of this statistic. I found a
reference about testing rank correlation under the null
hypothesis of independence (Gibbons and Chakraborti, 1992,
nonparametric statistical inference). But obviously
we can not use this result to construct the confidence interval.
Thanks.
