Abstract

This study aims to compare the values of correlation coefficients such as the Pearson coefficient, and the Kendall and Spearman coefficient. Pearson's coefficient values are taken from only studies conducted on the correlation of variables to be found in this study, while Kendall and Spearman's coefficient values account for the same variables and specifications to carry out this study. The earned values are compared to see which coefficients have the closest values. After comparing the coefficient values it is concluded that the Pearson and Spearman coefficient have more close values than Kendall's coefficient.
