correct_r_dich {psychmeta}

Correct correlations for artificial dichotomization of one or both variables

Description

Correct correlations for artificial dichotomization of one or both variables.

Usage

correct_r_dich(r, px = NA, py = NA, n = NULL, ...)

Arguments

r

Vector of correlations attenuated by artificial dichotomization.

px

Vector of proportions of the distribution on either side of the split applied to X (set as NA if X is continuous).

py

Vector of proportions of the distribution on either side of the split applied to Y (set as NA if Y is continuous).

n

Optional vector of sample sizes.

...

Additional arguments.

Details

r_{c}=\frac{r_{obs}}{\left[\frac{\phi\left(p_{X}\right)}{p_{X}\left(1-p_{X}\right)}\right]\left[\frac{\phi\left(p_{Y}\right)}{p_{Y}\left(1-p_{Y}\right)}\right]}

Value

Vector of correlations corrected for artificial dichotomization (if n is supplied, corrected error variance and adjusted sample size is also reported).
