Asymptotic Properties of Spearman's Rank Correlation for Variables with Finite Support.
The asymptotic variance and distribution of Spearman's rank correlation have previously been known only under independence. For variables with finite support, the population version of Spearman's rank correlation has been derived. Using this result, we show convergence to a normal distribu...
