The p-values from the corr function (Spearman), how are computed? Is there any refernce paper I could access?

Wikipedia has a brief but thorough article that includes a section on Determining Significance of the Spearman Rank Correlation.

Thanks, I know this, only would like to know which of these methods is the one implemented in Matlab for determining the significance.

That documentation is at the end of the corr documentation page.
Quoting:
  • corr computes p-values for Pearson's correlation using a Student's t distribution for a transformation of the correlation. This correlation is exact when X and Y are normal. corr computes p-values for Kendall's tau and Spearman's rho using either the exact permutation distributions (for small sample sizes), or large-sample approximations.
  • corr computes p-values for the two-tailed test by doubling the more significant of the two one-tailed p-values.
Is that what you’re looking for?
