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,
Oula Seitsonen
