IntermediateNonNor {BinOrdNonNor}

Computes the intermediate correlations for all continuous pairs

Description

The function computes the intermediate correlation values of pairwise correlations between continuous variables.

Usage

IntermediateNonNor(skew.vec, kurto.vec, cormat)

Arguments

skew.vec

The skewness vector for continuous variables.

kurto.vec

The kurtosis vector for continuous variables.

cormat

A matrix of pairwise target correlation between continuous variables. It is a symmetric square matrix with diagonal elements being 1.

Value

A pairwise correlation matrix of intermediate correlation for continuous variables.
