This paper presents saCI, an R package that implements the stochastic approximation method for constructing nonparametric confidence intervals for Pearson's correlation coefficient. The package is based on the algorithm proposed by Garthwaite (1996) and further developed by Xiong & Xu (2016). The implementation provides both the stochastic approximation (SA) method and the bootstrap BCa method for comparison, along with an interactive Shiny application for exploratory analysis. The package has been successfully published on CRAN, demonstrating its compliance with R package standards and reproducibility.
