Definitions of correlation coefficient
Definition that contains correlation coefficient
  • positive correlation a correlation in which large values of one variable are associated with large values of the other and small with small; the correlation coefficient is between 0 and +1
  • biserial correlation a correlation coefficient in which one variable is many-valued and the other is dichotomous
  • tetrachoric correlation a correlation coefficient computed for two normally distributed variables that are both expressed as a dichotomy
  • rank-order correlation the most commonly used method of computing a correlation coefficient between the ranks of scores on two variables
  • indirect correlation a correlation in which large values of one variable are associated with small values of the other; the correlation coefficient is between 0 and -1
  • product-moment correlation coefficient the most commonly used method of computing a correlation coefficient between variables that are linearly related
  • biserial correlation coefficient a correlation coefficient in which one variable is many-valued and the other is dichotomous
  • rank-order correlation coefficient the most commonly used method of computing a correlation coefficient between the ranks of scores on two variables
  • tetrachoric correlation coefficient a correlation coefficient computed for two normally distributed variables that are both expressed as a dichotomy
  • negative correlation a correlation in which large values of one variable are associated with small values of the other; the correlation coefficient is between 0 and -1
