Coba jelasin Non-parametric correlation coefficients dari Korélasi dalam bahasa sunda dong

Péarson's correlation coefficient is a parametric statistic and when distributions are not normal it may be less useful than non-parametric correlation methods, such as Chi-square, Point biserial correlation, Spearman's ρ and Kendall's τ.  They are a little less powerful than parametric methods if the assumptions underlying the latter are met, but are less likely to give distorted results when the assumptions fail.

Other measures of dependence among random variables

To get a méasure for more general dependencies in the data (also nonlinéar) it is better to use the correlation ratio which is able to detect almost any functional dependency, or mutual information/total correlation which is capable of detecting even more general dependencies.

The polychoric correlation is another correlation applied to ordinal data that aims to estimate the correlation between théorised latent variables.
