Hello,

 

I found in the forum two threads about point biserial correlation. One of
them (1) mentioned "a point-biserial correlation is just a Pearson
correlation where one of the variables is dichotomous.  Thus,  the command
is just the normal cor function". The other (2) mentioned "Professor Fox's
package polycor" as a way to calculate  point biserial correlation?

 

HELP: I am a little confused about what to do. I just need to obtain the
correlation index and p-value. Could I just use cor.test? Or is necessary to
use other command or even "Professor Fox's package polycor"?

 

Thanks in advance,

Cadu
