Notes

There are behavior differences between pandas-on-Spark and pandas.

the method argument only accepts ‘pearson’, ‘spearman’
the data should not contain NaNs. pandas-on-Spark will return an error.
pandas-on-Spark doesn’t support the following argument(s).
- min_periods argument is not supported

Examples

>>> df = ps.DataFrame([(.2, .3), (.0, .6), (.6, .0), (.2, .1)],
...                   columns=['dogs', 'cats'])
>>> df.corr('pearson')
          dogs      cats
dogs  1.000000 -0.851064
cats -0.851064  1.000000

>>> df.corr('spearman')
          dogs      cats
dogs  1.000000 -0.948683
cats -0.948683  1.000000
