A new nonparametric method for variance estimation and confidence interval construction for Spearmans rank correlation

Computation of simultaneous confidence bands is described for simple linear regressions where the band is constructed to be asymmetric about the predictor mean. Both two-sided and one-sided bands are constructed. The bands represent extensions of a class of symmetric confidence bands due to Bowden, 1970. J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 65, 413¯421. An example illustrates the computations, and a WWW-based applet for computing the bands is described.
