Re: [R] Spearman probabilities and SuppDists

[Bob Wheeler]

cor.test is giving Pr(x<0.6), SuppDists is giving Pr(x<=0.6). My 
recollection is that it is the custom in R for discrete distributions to 
include the point in the left tail.

x <- c(44.4, 45.9, 41.9, 53.3, 44.7, 44.1, 50.7, 45.2, 60.1)
y <- c( 2.6,  3.1,  2.5,  5.0,  3.6,  4.0,  5.2,  2.8,  3.8)

cor.test(x,y,method="spearman")

        Spearman's rank correlation rho
data:  x and y 
S = 48, p-value = 0.0968
alternative hypothesis: true rho is not equal to 0 
sample estimates:
rho 
0.6 


2*(1-pSpearman(.6,9))
[1] 0.08572531
