The Pearson's coefficient between two variables is quite high (r=.65). But when I rank the variable values and run a Spearman's correlation, the cofficient value is much lower (r=.30).
- What is the interpretation of this?
What could cause big differences in correlation coefficient between Pearson's and Spearman's correlation for a given dataset?
