Correlations - Comparing Two Numeric Variables

The Correlations setting in Statistical Assumptions determines how Q computes correlations. This directly changes the correlations displayed and any resulting tests on tables where a Numeric Question is selected in each of the Blue and Brown Drop-down Menus.

The following options are available:

• Correlations = Pearson: Pearson's Product Moment Correlation
• Correlations = Spearman: Spearman’s Correlation
• Correlations = Kendall tau-b: Kendall's Tau-b
