Spearman Rank Correlation
There’s lot of resources online that explain Spearman Rank when the coefficient is high, but I can’t find resources that explain when it’s low. My problem is that data I collected is showing weak spearman coefficients (0.1 - 0.3), and very low p-values (0.000). I interpret this to mean there is no relationship, and a high degree of certainty that there is no relationship. My professor (not a math major) thinks I am not giving my data enough credit and that it can prove something. But no matter what i reference I can’t understand that thinking. It still looks to me like I can say that theres no relationship, and if I wanted to show a relationship I would have to find the other variables that are affecting the dataset. Any help is appreciated!
