spearman_test, fisyat_test, quadrant_test and
koziol_test provide the Spearman correlation test, the Fisher-Yates
correlation test using van der Waerden scores, the quadrant test and the
Koziol-Nemec test. A general description of these methods is given by
Hájek, Šidák and Sen (1999, Sec. 4.6). The
Koziol-Nemec test was suggested by Koziol and Nemec (1979). For the
adjustment of scores for tied values see Hájek,
Šidák and Sen (1999, pp. 133–135).
The null hypothesis of independence, or conditional independence given
block, between y and x is tested.
The conditional null distribution of the test statistic is used to obtain
p-values and an asymptotic approximation of the exact distribution is
used by default (distribution = "asymptotic"). Alternatively, the
distribution can be approximated via Monte Carlo resampling by setting
distribution to "approximate". See asymptotic and
approximate for details.
