ABSTRACT

In this paper we investigate the permutation test for the equality of correlation coefficients in several independent populations. Permutation test is a non-parametric testing methodology based upon the exchangeability of observations. Exchangeability is a generalization of the concept of independent, identically distributed random variables. Using permutation method, we may construct asymptotically exact test. This method is asymptotically as powerful as standard parametric tests and is a valuable tool when the sample sizes are small and normality assumption cannot be met. We first review existing parametric approaches to test the equality of correlation coefficients and compare them with the permutation test. At the end, all the approaches are illustrated using Iris data example.
