Questions about correlations

  1. How should I deal with outliers when doing correlations?

  2. Rank-based and other correlations (percentage bend) which are robust to non-Normal data

  3. How do I correlate change in score with the score at baseline?

  4. How do I measure agreement to see if two measures are measuring the same thing (Bland and Altman plots)?

  5. Can I do a correlation between two variables where one variable is less than or equal to the other?

  6. How do I produce nonparametric Spearman partial correlations using SPSS?

  7. What is Collinearity in multiple regression, and what do I do about it?

  8. How do I compare a pair of correlations?

  9. How do I obtain an average correlation?
