Can anyone please give me an example of PEARSON and SPEARMAN Correlation.
Pearson- compares two interval...
Spearman- compares two ordinal...
Need a real life example to understand and remember it.

Ok, Pearson compares two interval data. for example age and height.
(height and weight are positively correlated -inc height inc weight)
Spearman? compares two ordinal level variables........ Can anyone give examples.
Ordinal means things like gold, silver, and bronze medals or 1st 2nd and 3rd place.
But I can't think of a medical example...
