Nomogram for the Tetrachoric Correlation Coefficient Max Hamilton
It is unnecessary here to enter into a discussion on the advantages and limitations of the tetrachoric correlation coefficient, as this has been frequently done before. In spite of the criticisms of the statisticians, it remains one of the most frequently used coefficients of association in psychological research. Because it is so difficult to compute, Karl Pearson publ.ished tables (5) to aid ...
متن کاملTitle The Phi - coefficient , the Tetrachoric Correlation Coefficient , and the Pearson - Yule Debate
Two measures of association for dichotomous variables, the phi-coefficient and the tetrachoric correlation coefficient, are reviewed and differences between the two are discussed in the context of the famous so-called Pearson-Yule debate, that took place in the early 20th century. The two measures of association are given mathematically rigorous definitions, their underlying assumptions are for...
متن کاملAsymptotic Distribution Free Interval Estimation for an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient with Applications to Longitudinal Data
Confidence intervals for the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) have been proposed under the assumption of multivariate normality. We propose confidence intervals which do not require distributional assumptions. We performed a simulation study to assess the coverage rates of normal theory (NT) and asymptotically distribution free (ADF) intervals. We found that the ADF intervals performed ...
متن کاملAccurate Inference for the Mean of the Poisson-Exponential Distribution
Although the random sum distribution has been well-studied in probability theory, inference for the mean of such distribution is very limited in the literature. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to obtain inference for the mean of the Poisson-Exponential distribution. Both proposed approaches require the log-likelihood function of the Poisson-Exponential distribution, but the exact for...
متن کاملExactification of the Poincaré asymptotic expansion of the Hankel integral: spectacularly accurate asymptotic expansions and non-asymptotic scales.
We obtain an exactification of the Poincaré asymptotic expansion (PAE) of the Hankel integral, [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text], using the distributional approach of McClure & Wong. We find that, for half-integer orders of the Bessel function, the exactified asymptotic series terminates, so that it gives an exact finite sum representation of the Hankel integral. For other orders, the ...
