MSE for simulations under scenario 1 (normal data)

rXY Spearman Bayesian
n = 15 0.036 0.025 0.0037
n = 30 0.015 0.01 0.0016
n = 60 0.0061 0.0051 0.00091
n = 120 0.0026 0.0025 0.00049

For example, the MSE of rXY when n = 15 was 0.036. In every case, the Bayesian estimator has much smaller MSE than Spearman's. MSE, mean squared error.
