For which of these variables would you be interested in finding the biserial correlation coefficient rather than the point-biserial correlation coefficient?

Sagot :

Answer:

The formula for the point biserial correlation coefficient is:

point biserial correlation formula

M1 = mean (for the entire test) of the group that received the positive binary variable (i.e. the “1”).

M0 = mean (for the entire test) of the group that received the negative binary variable (i.e. the “0”).

Sn = standard deviation for the entire test.

p = Proportion of cases in the “0” group.

q = Proportion of cases in the “1” group.

Most people won’t work this formula by hand as most statistical software packages can calculate the coefficient for you.
