Hello,
Can Spearman's rho be used to measure of the degree of association between two binary variables ?
I was wondering if Spearman's rho could be adequate because I have used the phi coefficient to quantify association among several binary variables and the results are identifical compared with Spearman's rho coefficient .
Best regards,
Marcos Vinicius
