Pearson's #correlation is irrelevant if you suspect that the relationship is not a straight line.

If monotonic relationship:
"#Spearman’s rho is particularly useful for small samples where weak correlations are expected, as it can detect subtle monotonic trends." It is "widespread across disciplines where the measurement precision is not guaranteed".
"#Kendall’s Tau-b is less affected [than Spearman’s rho] by outliers in the data, making it a robust option for datasets with extreme values."

"#Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) said on Monday that he could not stop two expelled representatives from being reappointed.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Sexton said that the speaker would not stand in the way of the reappointment of Democratic Reps. Justin #Pearson and Justin #Jones. Both were expelled after they used a bullhorn on the House floor to call for gun safety laws." rawstory.com/cameron-sexton-ju

Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent JournalismTennessee House speaker admits he's powerless to stop reinstatement of expelled DemocratsBy David Edwards

By expelling the two Democrats, the Republican super majority in Tennessee accomplished the exact opposite of what they intended:

As members of the minority party in the lower House of Tennessee’s undistinguished legislature, the three Democrats —State Reps. #Justin #Jones,
#Justin J. #Pearson, and
#Gloria #Johnson
- had been obscure, local political players.

By martyring them, the GOP has turned them into national stars. All three are impressive and eloquent, and they are about to be a ubiquitous presence on television.

So instead of disgracing or silencing them, the GOP’s naked retaliation amplified their message beyond anything the three could have done themselves.

Idiocracy on steroids.
