Description

As suggested by Patrick Meyer on the users mailinglist:

currently there is no way to create an instance of SpearmansCorrelation and set the used RankingAlgorithm.

There are ctors to provide both data and algorithm, but it would be convenient to have a ctor that only sets the algorithm and allows for later calls to correlate, suggested signature:

    public SpearmansCorrelation(final RankingAlgorithm rankingAlgorithm)
