Spearman's rank correlation test is commonly used in astronomy to discern whether a set of two variables are correlated or not. Unlike most other quantities quoted in astronomical literature, the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient is generally quoted with no attempt to estimate the errors on its value. This is a practice that would not be accepted for those other quantities, as it is often regarded that an estimate of a quantity without an estimate of its associated uncertainties is meaningless. This manuscript describes a number of easily implemented, Monte Carlo based methods to estimate the uncertainty on the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, or more precisely to estimate its probability distribution.

The disk luminosity deficit as a tracer of receding disk during Soft-to-Hard transitions in Black Hole X-ray Binaries
In 24 BHXRB outbursts, the thermal disk luminosity drops below the soft-state exponential decay baseline, and this deficit is used as a tracer of disk truncation, corroborated by decreasing timing frequencies.

Statistical Analysis of PAHs as a Tracer of Anomalous Microwave Emission Using DIRBE Data
AME correlates more strongly with PAH 3.3 micron emission than with thermal dust in a minority of Planck compact sources, especially among high-significance detections.

BEACON: JWST NIRCam Pure-parallel Imaging Survey. IV. A Systematic Search for Galaxy Overdensities and Evidence for Gas Accretion Mode Transition
A systematic search of JWST pure-parallel fields finds 207 galaxy overdensities at z=1.5–5; quenching correlates with halo mass and local density at z<2, with trends weakening and possibly reversing at z>3.

Revisiting Disc-Jet Coupling in Black Hole X-ray Binaries: On the Nature of Disc Dynamics and Jet Velocity
Across thirteen black hole X-ray binaries, type-A QPOs show negative lags and often precede radio flares, type-B QPOs accompany the flares, and inferred soft-intermediate-state jet velocities are moderately relativistic.

Temporal evolution of quasi-periodic oscillations in an accreting black hole Swift J1727.8-1613: coevolution of the disk-corona during the state transition
QPO frequency in Swift J1727.8-1613 shows a two-branch correlation with disk luminosity, negative below about 3 Hz and positive above.
