Ranking of data allows calculation of ranges and percentiles. Quick estimation of correlation coefficient is possible (Spearman's method). Certain graphical displays of data, such as box and whiskers plots use percentiles.
Can you split the name of this up somehow when you resubmit your question, so that an answerer can attempt to use the search facility on photobucket.com?
The correlation analysis is use in research to measure and interpret the strength of a logistic relationship between variables.
Spearman's rank correlation coefficient
cofficient of rank correlation
Although Spearman's rank correlation coefficient puts a numerical value between the linear association between two variables, it can only be used for data that has not been grouped.
Data ranks come from sorting the data. Manually ordering large sets of data can be time consuming, but very easy with spreadsheet programs. There are alternative means of calculating correlation, but if you are to use Spearman's rank correlation, you have to order each data set and determine ranks.

Right.. Clearly u are supposed to be in a lesson so why are u asking me ? Not the Teacher ? -.-
The possible range of correlation coefficients depends on the type of correlation being measured. Here are the types for the most common correlation coefficients: Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient (ρ) Kendall's Rank Correlation Coefficient (τ) All of these correlation coefficients ranges from -1 to +1. In all the three cases, -1 represents negative correlation, 0 represents no correlation, and +1 represents positive correlation. It's important to note that correlation coefficients only measure the strength and direction of a linear relationship between variables. They do not capture non-linear relationships or establish causation. For better understanding of correlation analysis, you can get professional help from online platforms like SPSS-Tutor, Silverlake Consult, etc.
Spearman's rank correlation coefficient is given in the related link at the bottom of this page.
Yes, correlations can be measured using statistical methods such as Pearson's correlation coefficient or Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. These measures quantify the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
The results of the two tests correlate to a high degree.
correlation measure the strength of association between to variables.but some times both variables are not in same units.so we cannot measure it with the help of correlation. in this case we use its coefficent which mean unit free. that,s why we use it.
