Abstract

We present a new algorithm for computing the exact null distribution of the Spearman rank correlation statistic \rho, which also works in the case of ties. The algorithm is based on symmetries in the representation of the probability generating function as a permanent with monomial entries. We present new critical values for sample sizes 19 \leq n \leq 22. Finally, we show how to derive the exact null distribution of Page's L statistic from the null distribution of \rho.
