Spearman Correlation

Spearman's correlation is used when the relationship between variables is not linear or when the data is not normally distributed. It is also often used when there are outliers in the data or when the data is ranked.

The Spearman correlation can take values between -1 and 1, where a value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, a value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation and a value of 0 indicates no correlation between the variables.
