Abstract
A class of naive estimators of correlation was
tested for robustness, accuracy, and efficiency
against Pearson’s r. Tukey’s r., and Spearman’s ro.
It was found that this class of estimators seems in
some respects to be superior being less affected by
outliers, reasonably efficient, and frequently more
easily calculated. The definition and details of the
use of these naive estimators are the subject of this
paper.
