Abstract
The polychoric correlation and an approximate maximum likelihood estimator of correlation are compared for count data that are assumed to be derived from an underlying bivariate normal distribution. A related chi squared test for bivariate normality is also examined.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
