Abstract

A generalized method of defining and interpreting correlation coefficients is given. Seven correlation coefficients are defined — three for continuous data and four on the ranks of the data. A quick calculation of the rank based correlation coefficients using a 0-1 graph-matrix is shown. Examples and comparisons are given.
