nltk.spearman_correlation()¶

nltk.spearman_correlation(ranks1, ranks2)[source]¶

Returns the Spearman correlation coefficient for two rankings, which should be dicts or sequences of (key, rank). The coefficient ranges from -1.0 (ranks are opposite) to 1.0 (ranks are identical), and is only calculated for keys in both rankings (for meaningful results, remove keys present in only one list before ranking).
