Description

Spearman's Rank is one method of measuring the correlation between two variables. Correlation may be:
• Positive (large values of one variable associated with large values of the other variable – e.g. nitrate concentration and plant growth).
• Negative (large values of one variable associated with small values of the other – e.g. distance from town centre and pollution levels).

Correlation is measured on a scale from -1 to 1
