Pearson chi square and correlation
My data are ordinal
Pearson chi squared test value is 4.664
And asymp sig is 0.97 so the data are independent
However pearson's R =-0.309
And the approx sig=0.037
Can they be independent and ...

Should one account for the known variance of fixed X when estimating its relationship with random Y?
In Aldrich (2005), and specifically in sections 10 and 11, the author describes the sufficient statistic for the parameter $\beta$ in the simple regression of random $Y$ on fixed $X$, with a bivariate ...

What is the minimum Pearson sample correlation given a perfect sample rank correlation with no ties? [duplicate]
Let $(X, Y)$ be a random sample of finite size $n$ from a bivariate continuous distribution with unknown parameters $(\rho_{XY},\mu_X,\mu_Y,\sigma_X,\sigma_Y)$. Assume observed values are real numbers ...

How does knowing the sign of the population correlation affect the sufficiency of its statistic?
As noted here, the sufficient statistic for the correlation under bivariate normality is Pearson's $r$, the maximum likelihood estimate of $\rho$. I suppose, however, this does not guarantee that $r$ ...

Why can't fit I fit a multivariate regression (OPLS) model when my variables are univariately (Pearson/Spearman) correlated?
I have a dataset of 950 lipids (X) and want to see if any are correlated with cognitive function (Y). When I try to fit an opls regression model, it errors and says that "No model was built ...

Doing an independent study as a high schooler but can't seem to figure out the values that need to be used to get pearson's correlation coefficient
Here's the database, it's a rather small one: https://www.theadgalternative.com/world_cup_data.html
I dont understand what my N, X, and Y values would be since nothing is really quantitative.
I'm ...

Pearson & Spearman correlation coefficient in their extreme
I am working right now in R with correlation coefficients. I know that we can achieve approximately a Pearson coefficient r=0 and Spearman p=1, because Pearson is sensitive to outliers. However, I was ...

Deducing from Ordinal to Binary Data
Assume I have two rank vectors $r^A, r^B$ of size $p$ - that is, each of them is some permutation of $1,...,p$. For the sake of simplicity, assume that $p$ is odd.
Now, I take these vectors and recode ...
