Correlation Coefficients for More than One Scale Type: An Alternative to the Janson and Vegelius Approach.

Zegers, Frits E.; Ten Berge, Jos M. F.

Psychometrika, v51 n4 p549-57 Dec 1986

In the family of correlation suggested by Janson and Vegilius, some coefficients are generalized squared product-moment correlations and some are not. This paper advocates a family of correlations for variables of mixed scale types in which all members are generalized squared product-moment correlations. Practical advantages are explained.
