spearman相关性

This article is about correlation and its implication in the machine learning. In my previous article, I have discussed Pearson’s correlation coefficient and later we have written a code to show the usefulness of finding Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Well, you must be thinking that why is there a need to use Spearman's correlation when we already have Pearson’s correlation to find out the correlation between the feature values and the target values? The answer is that "Pearson’s correlation works fine only with the linear relationships whereas Spearman's correlation works well even with the non-linear relationships".

本文介绍了相关性及其在机器学习中的含义。 在上一篇文章中，我讨论了Pearson的相关系数 ，后来我们编写了代码以显示找到Pearson的相关系数的有用性。 好吧，您必须考虑一下， 当我们已经有了Pearson的相关性以找出特征值与目标值之间的相关性时 ， 为什么需要使用Spearman的相关性？ 答案是“皮尔逊相关仅适用于线性关系，而斯皮尔曼相关甚至适用于非线性关系” 。

Another advantage of using Spearman’s correlation is that since it uses ranks to find the correlation values, therefore, this correlation well suited for continuous as well as discrete datasets.
