How to assess a statistical model?
How to choose between variables?
Pearson's #correlation is irrelevant if you suspect that the relationship is not a straight line.
If monotonic relationship:
"#Spearman’s rho is particularly useful for small samples where weak correlations are expected, as it can detect subtle monotonic trends." It is "widespread across disciplines where the measurement precision is not guaranteed".
"#Kendall’s Tau-b is less affected [than Spearman’s rho] by outliers in the data, making it a robust option for datasets with extreme values."

Now, I'm not saying that cocktails in general or my drinks-making ability specifically have magical healing powers but my wife, who's had cough/cold symptoms for the last few days, hasn't coughed or sneezed or sniffed once this evening while I've been whipping up some gorgeous raspberrytinis.

#Pearson #correlation is excellent to identify outliers, as a single large value can shift the result quite dramatically.
The associated image comes from a published panel figure of a scientific paper (2020). I would refrain, however, to consider that the observed correlation has biological significance... or that it is really a correlation...

@ekmiller May be, may be not. But keep on playing!
Conclusion:
We show that playing a musical instrument during life relates to higher RSFC of the medial prefrontal cortex with distant brain regions involved in higher-order cognitive and motor processes. Preserved or enhanced functional connectivity could potentially contribute to better brain health and resilience in OA with a history in musical activity.

Toujours issue du même ouvrage, l'introduction est disponible sur HAL :) Utile si vous avez besoin de références sur la corrélation !
Honoré Champion, chez qui j'ai publié avec une collègue un recueil collectif en juin dernier, autorise la diffusion sur HAL des contributions. Donc voici la mienne, issue dudit recueil ! Bonne lecture, ça parle de corrélation, de diachronie et de coutume normande :)
