Spearman correlation

[Danai Louzioti]

Hello,

I am trying to generate a heat plot using Speaman's correlation matrix. I know that the code needs to be different from the Pearson correlation. I also understand that the correlation matrix in this case is not in r(C) but I cannot find how to proceed.
Can someone please help me to understand how to create this heat plot?

-spearman- returns its correlations in r(Rho).

In general, to see how any command returns its results, run the command on some small demo data set, and then run -return list- to see all the returned results. Like this:

. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 automobile data)

. spearman price mpg headroom

Number of observations = 74

             |    price      mpg headroom
-------------+---------------------------
       price |   1.0000
         mpg |  -0.5419   1.0000
    headroom |   0.0969  -0.4866   1.0000

. return list

scalars:
                  r(N) =  74
                r(rho) =  -.4866017105832124
                  r(p) =  .0000147413703668
                r(p_l) =  7.37068518342e-06
                r(p_u) =  .9999926293148166

matrices:
               r(Nobs) :  3 x 3
                r(Rho) :  3 x 3
                  r(P) :  3 x 3

. matrix list r(Rho)

symmetric r(Rho)[3,3]
               price         mpg    headroom
   price           1
     mpg  -.54191316           1
headroom   .09692878  -.48660171           1

Thank you! It worked now!
