Tests of Significance of Correlation Coefficients in the Absence of Bivariate Normal Populations.

Zimmerman, Donald W.

Journal of Experimental Education, v54 n4 p223-27 Sum 1986

A computer program randomly sampled ordered pairs of scores from known populations that departed from bivariate normal form and calculated correlation coefficients from sample values. Hypotheses were tested (1) that population correlations are zero using the t statistic; and (2) that population correlations have non-zero values using the r to z transformation. (Author/LMO)
