How to determine Spearmans correlation in Python?

This recipe helps you determine Spearmans correlation in Python

Recipe Objective

Spearman"s correlation is very important statical data that we need many times. We can calculate it manually but it takes time.

So this is the recipe on how we can determine Spearman"s correlation in Python

Step 1 - Importing Library

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import scipy.stats import pandas as pd import random import seaborn as sns

We have imported stats, seaborn and pandas which is needed.

Step 2 - Creating a dataframe

We have created a empty dataframe and then added rows to it with random numbers. df = pd.DataFrame() df["x"] = random.sample(range(1, 100), 75) df["y"] = random.sample(range(1, 100), 75) print(); print(df.head())

Step 3 - Calculating Spearman"s correlation coefficient

We hawe defined a function with differnt steps that we will see.

  • We have calculated rank of x and y and passed it in the function scipy.stats.spearmanr().
  • xranks = pd.Series(xs).rank() yranks = pd.Series(ys).rank() return scipy.stats.spearmanr(xranks, yranks)
  • We have printed the result as well as the x and y values.
  • result = spearmans_rank_correlation(df.x, df.y)[0] print() print("spearmans_rank_correlation is: ", result)

Ploting Regression Plot

We are ploting regression plot with the fit. sns.lmplot("x", "y", data=df, fit_reg=True) plt.show()

   x   y
0  90  79
1  50  14
2  47  52
3  74  67
4  54  33

spearmans_rank_correlation is:  0.21755334281650068
