He has been told that there is a close correlation between the distances motorists travel and their sex. In order to check this assertion, he divides his sample into male and female motorists, and then does a t-test to determine whether the mean distances are significantly different for the ...
Point-correlations are always reported for items. Point-correlations are reported for persons when (i) all the items are dichotomies, (ii) all the items have three categories, or (iii) all the items are in the same item group (Andrich Rating Scale Model). Otherwise, the observed and expe...
but where that sample is really normally distributed. In such cases, the point-biserial correlation generally under-reports the true value of the association. The biserial correlation coefficient provides a better estimate in this case.
A formula is developed for the correlation between a ranking (possibly including ties) and a dichotomy, with limits which are always ±1. This formula is shown to be equivalent both to Kendall'sτ and Spearman'sρ. This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to ...
Remember that if your data failed any of these assumptions, the output that you get from the point-biserial correlation procedure (i.e., the table we discuss below), will no longer be correct. However, in this "quick start" guide, we focus on the results from the point-biserial ...

Sample biserial correlation coefficientNoiseExcess standard deviationUniversal descriptionLimited predictability is one of the remarkable features of deterministic chaos and this feature may be quantized in terms of Lyapunov exponents. Accordingly, Lyapunov-exponent estimates may be expected to follow in a ...
Item discrimination is found based on Point Biserial Correlation Coefficient and there by only the items which can discriminate the high and low performers alone are accumulated in the item pool to have maximum effect of intelligence in tutoring system. Thereby the obj...
