I was readong the Urek spin of and couldn't avoid noticing that he got in the tower as an adult. His data self in TOG, however, was a child.

Is he Benjamin Button?

I'm a surgeon from a third world country trying to do a research correlating a certain disease with external factors (mainly, the lowest temperature of the day). So, I have a table containing a time series with the date, the temperature (minimum and maximum) of the day, and the number of hospitalizations resulting from the aforementioned disease. Neither the temperature or hospitalizations are in a normal distribution, so I did a spearman test to find the correlation.

I feel that it is an inadequate test to correlate the temperature and the disease, for I have never researched time series. I would like to ask you guys if there are better tests to run and which ones should I run.

Thanks to you all in advance.

Edit: good night*

Edit2: also, an important information. We don't have the data for every single day because the meteorological station hasn't measure the temperature in some of the days. We have all the info in 86% of the days though.
