Hi Marta,

thanks fro the tip.
Do you know some literature where this is written? Because in the literature
I read this is not mentioned.

BTW. I did found what I asked for - I can now draw the different 11
trendlines with curvefit. :-)

Do you or someone else know a way to make these for a lot of .sav-files?

I wanted to check for the best R squread in each result and so make a
decision.

Spearman correlation coefficient is NOT linear, it checks for any kind of

different transformations of both variables.
