Subject: | RE: [mget-help] Spearman or Pearson correlation? |
Date: | Sun, 13 Nov 2011 12:49:47 -0500 |
Dear Oula,
It calculates Pearson correlation coefficients. We will update our
documentation to indicate that.
A while ago, we considered making the correlation method a configurable
option but never got around to it. It would be easy for us to add support for
Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau. Is that something that would be useful to
you?
Best regards,
Jason

Hey,
I'd like to ask, if the "Scatterplot Matrix for Table" function calculates
the Spearman Rho or Pearson correlation values? I have not been able to find
this from the documentation... I would imagine Spearman?
Greetings,
