This method calculates the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient value using the hermite_estimator_bivar object (h_est_obj).
# S3 method for hermite_estimator_bivar
spearmans(h_est_obj, clipped = FALSE)
A numeric value.
A hermite_estimator_bivar object.
A boolean value. Indicates whether to clip Spearman's rank correlation estimates to lie between -1 and 1.
The method utilizes the estimator defined in the paper Stephanou, Michael and Varughese, Melvin. "Sequential Estimation of Nonparametric Correlation using Hermite Series Estimators." arXiv Preprint (2020), https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.06287
The object must be updated with observations prior to the use of this method.
