1、,Spearman 与Pearson,汇报人：屠星月,内容,Spearman相关系数的含义 Spearman相关分析的特点 Spearman 与Pearson相关分析的对比 结果的解释 对我的研究数据的适用性,一,Spearman相关系数的含义,Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient,两个连续或等级/秩变量之间的单调相关（ monotone association）关系。 单调函数描述两个变量之间的关系的程度（ how well the relationship between two variables can be described usi

2、ng a monotonic function） Pearson 相关系数的一个特例（系数计算中的X,Y被其秩代替）：,Rx and Ry are the ranks of the x and y variables,respectively,is the square of the difference between the corresponding ranks of xi and yi, and n is the number observations.,二,Spearman相关分析的特点,不对变量的分布做假设：非参数（自由分布） 可用于等级数据（ ordinal data：The m

3、ost fundamental requisite is to be able to measure our observed correspondence by a plain numerical symbol ） 当数据分布导致，pearson相关系数不适用或者产生误导的使用。when the distribution of data makes Pearsons correlation coefficient undesirable or misleading 当数据为定性的变量，或者含有异常值时尤其适用。,三,Spearman 与Pearson相关分析的对比,三,Spearman 与P

4、earson相关分析的对比,三,Spearman 与Pearson相关分析的对比,1. 对同样的数据，Spearman相关统计相关，而pearson可能显著也可能不显著 the significance of Spearmans correlation can lead to the significance or non-significance of Pearsons correlation coefficient even for big sets of data 2.对同样的数据，二者所得的相关系数符号有可能不一样 （It is possible to meet a situation

5、 where Pearsons coefficient is negative while Spearmans coefficient is positive.） 3.注意：确保不要针对两个变量的相关强度，对spearman相关系数过度解释 Make sure not to overinterpret Spearmans rank correlation coefficient as a significant measure of the strength of the associations between two variables.,四,结果的解释,四,结果的解释,r 与P值,呈现分

6、析结果时应当包含的信息,当统计显著，但相关系数不大，则有可能是其他变量的影响,四,结果的解释,r 的大小,Benedict K，The Correlation Coefficient - Explained in Three Steps，,四,结果的解释,六,参考文献,Sullivan, G. M. and R. Feinn (2012).
