CORR_K function calculates a rank correlation.
It is a non-parametric procedure. The following options are available for the CORR_K function.
For the coefficient:
CORR_K(expr1, expr2, 'COEFFICIENT')
For significance level of one-sided test:
CORR_K(expr1, expr2, 'ONE_SIDED_SIG')
For significance level of two-sided test:
CORR_K(expr1, expr2, 'TWO_SIDED_SIG')
Given the following table.
