Aha! That does exactly what i wanted! Thanks! Jose
But does it do what it should? It's customary to use "rho" for a _population_ correlation coefficient. If your (x,y) values represent a _sample_, then it would probably be more appropriate to use the more mundane "r" or perhaps "rho-hat".
I'm talking rank correlation, Spearman's rho.
