[R] Spearman correlation confidence interval

[Gabor Grothendieck]

You could use a bootstrapped confidence interval.  You can find
R code examples of using bootstrapped confidence intervals
for correlation coefficients (and also an example of the
alternative Fisher Transform) in the proto vignette:

library(proto)
vignette("proto")  # see 3.2
