We have two new Minerazzi miners, AWS and AI, available now at

http://www.minerazzi.com/aws
Use this miner to easily find Amazon Web Services public resources, news, and more.

http://www.minerazzi.com/ai
Use this miner to quickly find artificial intelligence resources, tutorials, news, and more.

On a side note, here is a little challenge for you. Can you decipher the following string?

The solution is quite obvious.

On the Nonadditivity of Correlation Coefficients Part 2: Fisher Transformations

This is Part 2 of a tutorial series on the nonadditivity of correlation coefficients. This time we discuss Fisher r-to-Z and Z-to-r transformations and the risks of arbitrarily implementing these.

Misusing the transformations can have a detrimental impact on significance testing, confidence intervals, reported standard errors of correlations, and meta-analysis.

The tutorial is available at

This is a new Minerazzi tool available now at

http://www.minerazzi.com/tools/regression-correlation/calculator.php

The tool does simple linear regression and correlation analyses, computing Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients and other relevant statistics.

The companion default example was intentionally selected to illustrate that for rank data free from ties, Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients are the same thing.

 

On the Nonadditivity of Correlation Coefficients Part 1: Pearson and Spearman Coefficients

This is Part 1 of a tutorial series on the nonadditivity of correlation coefficients. We demonstrate why it is not possible to arithmetically add, subtract, and average Pearson’s r or Spearman’s rs.

The article is available at

http://minerazzi.com/tutorials/nonadditivity-correlations-part-1.pdf

07-04-2017 update: In page 1 the line for the Beta1 should read “is the slope of a simple linear regression model”. My fault. Fixed today along with few other nuances.

Enjoy it!
