Abstract

In this note we introduce a new novel correlation estimator termed the relative rank correlation (RRC), along with a new descriptive RRC plot. The goal is to estimate the RRC per subject for the purpose of examining “within subject” correlations. The interesting feature of this correlation estimator is that it can be calculated given only a single paired observation per subject. Specific applications of the RRC estimator include model diagnostics, examination of influential observations, graphical exploration and simple description. This approach extends to “within subject” simple linear regression estimation as well.
