The '''point biserial correlation coefficient''' (''r<sub>pb</sub>'') is a [[Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient|correlation coefficient]] used when one variable (e.g. ''Y'') is [[dichotomy|dichotomous]]; ''Y'' can either be "naturally" dichotomous, like gender, or an artificially dichotomized variable. In most situations it is not advisable to artificially dichotomize variables. When you artificially dichotomize a variable the new dichotomous variable may be conceptualized as having an underlying continuity. If this is the case, a biserial correlation would be the more appropriate calculation.
== 3 Nike Air Max 2014 Cheap ==


The point-biserial correlation is mathematically equivalent to the Pearson (product moment) [[correlation]], that is, if we have one continuously measured variable ''X'' and a dichotomous variable ''Y'', ''r<sub>XY</sub>'' = ''r<sub>pb</sub>''. This can be shown by assigning two distinct numerical values to the dichotomous variable.

To calculate ''r<sub>pb</sub>'', assume that the dichotomous variable ''Y'' has the two values 0 and 1. If we divide the data set into two groups, group 1 which received the value "1" on ''Y'' and group 2 which received the value "0" on ''Y'', then the point-biserial correlation coefficient is calculated as follows:
== Harry Zavos Nike Roshe Run Sydney ==
:<math>
r_{pb} = \frac{M_1 - M_0}{s_n} \sqrt{ \frac{n_1 n_0}{n^2}},
</math>
where ''s<sub>n</sub>'' is the standard deviation used when you have data for every member of the population:
<br>
:<math>s_n = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n (X_i - \overline{X})^2}\,,</math>
''M''<sub>1</sub> being the mean value on the continuous variable ''X'' for all data points in group 1, and ''M''<sub>0</sub> the mean value on the continuous variable ''X'' for all data points in group 2.  Further, ''n''<sub>1</sub> is the number of data points in group 1, ''n''<sub>0</sub> is the number of data points in group 2 and ''n'' is the total sample size.  This formula is a computational formula that has been derived from the formula for ''r<sub>XY</sub>'' in order to reduce steps in the calculation; it is easier to compute than ''r<sub>XY</sub>''.


There is an equivalent formula that uses ''s<sub>n''&minus;1</sub>:

It's important to note that this is merely an equivalent formula. It is not a formula for use in the case where you only have sample data. There is no version of the formula for a case where you only have sample data. The version of the formula using ''s<sub>n''&minus;1</sub> is useful if you are calculating point-biserial correlation coefficients in a programming language or other development environment where you have a function available for calculating ''s<sub>n''&minus;1</sub>, but don't have a function available for calculating ''s<sub>n</sub>''.
</ul>
 
To clarify:
 
:<math>
r_{pb} = \frac{M_1 - M_0}{s_n} \sqrt{ \frac{n_1 n_0}{n^2}} = \frac{M_1 - M_0}{s_{n-1}} \sqrt{ \frac{n_1 n_0}{n(n-1)}}.

| year = 1995
| isbn = 0-205-14212-5
}}</ref> contains a correct version of point biserial formula.
 
Also the square of the point biserial correlation coefficient can be written:
:<math>
\frac{ (M_1 - M_0)^2} {\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i - \overline{X})^2} \left( \frac{n_1 n_0}{n} \right)\,.
</math>
 
We can test the null hypothesis that the correlation is zero in the population. A little algebra shows that the usual formula for assessing the significance of a correlation coefficient, when applied to ''r<sub>pb</sub>'', is the same as the formula for an unpaired [[Student's t-test|''t''-test]] and so
 
:<math>
r_{pb} \sqrt{ \frac{n_1+n_0-2}{1-r_{pb}^2}}
</math>
follows [[Student's t-distribution]] with (''n<sub>1</sub>+n<sub>0</sub>'' - 2) degrees of freedom when the null hypothesis is true.
 
One disadvantage of the point biserial coefficient is that the further the distribution of ''Y'' is from 50/50, the more constrained will be the range of values which the coefficient can take. If ''X'' can be assumed to be normally distributed, a better descriptive index is given by the biserial coefficient
 
:<math>
r_{b} = \frac{M_1 - M_0}{s_n} \frac{n_1 n_0}{n^2 u},
</math>
 
where ''u'' is the ordinate of the [[normal distribution]] with zero mean and unit variance at the point which divides the distribution into proportions ''n''<sub>0</sub>/''n'' and ''n''<sub>1</sub>/''n''.  As you might imagine, this is not the easiest thing in the world to calculate and the biserial coefficient is not widely used in practice.
 
A specific case of biserial correlation occurs where ''X'' is the sum of a number of dichotomous variables of which ''Y'' is one. An example of this is where ''X''  is a person's total score on a test composed of ''n'' dichotomously scored items. A statistic of interest (which is a discrimination index) is the correlation between responses to a given item and the corresponding total test scores. There are three computations in wide use,<ref>{{cite journal |last=Linacre |first=John |title=
[http://www.rasch.org/rmt/rmt221e.htm The Expected Value of a Point-Biserial (or Similar) Correlation] |journal=Rasch Measurement Transactions |volume=22 |year=2008 |issue=1 |page=1154}}</ref> all called the ''point-biserial correlation'': (i) the Pearson correlation between item scores and total test scores including the item scores, (ii) the Pearson correlation between item scores and total test scores excluding the item scores, and (iii) a correlation adjusted for the bias caused by the inclusion of item scores in the test scores. Correlation (iii) is
 
:<math>
r_{upb}=\frac{M_1-M_0-1}{\sqrt{\frac{n^2s_n^2}{n_1n_0}-2(M_1-M_0)+1}}.
</math>
 
A slightly different version of the point biserial coefficient is the rank biserial which occurs where the variable ''X'' consists of ranks while ''Y'' is dichotomous.  We could calculate the coefficient in the same way as where ''X'' is continuous but it would have the same disadvantage that the range of values it can take on becomes more constrained as the distribution of ''Y'' becomes more unequal. To get round this, we note that the coefficient will have its largest value where the smallest ranks are all opposite the 0s and the largest ranks are opposite the 1s. Its smallest value occurs where the reverse is the case. These values are respectively plus and minus (''n''<sub>1</sub>&nbsp;+&nbsp;''n''<sub>0</sub>)/2. We can therefore use the reciprocal of this value to rescale the difference between the observed mean ranks on to the interval from plus one to minus one. The result is
 
:<math>
r_{rb} = 2\frac{M_1 - M_0}{n_1+n_0},
</math>
 
where ''M''<sub>1</sub> and ''M''<sub>0</sub> are respectively the means of the ranks corresponding to the 1 and 0 scores of the dichotomous variable. This formula, which simplifies the calculation from the counting of agreements and inversions, is due to Gene V Glass (1966).  
 
It is possible to use this to test the null hypothesis of zero correlation in the population from which the sample was drawn. If ''r<sub>rb</sub>'' is calculated as above then the smaller of
 
:<math>
(1+r_{rb})\frac{n_1n_0}{2}
</math>
 
and
 
:<math>
(1-r_{rb})\frac{n_1n_0}{2}
</math>
 
is distributed as [[Mann–Whitney U]] with sample sizes ''n''<sub>1</sub> and ''n''<sub>0</sub> when the null hypothesis is true.

City officials say they are about solid legal ground throughout continuing to transfer tens of millions of cash in operating revenue through Glendale Water Power no matter how locals vote in April upon proposed amendments to the book language governing the practice.

Pointing to newly found documents from more than 70 years ago, reps last week said that the city now handles the electricity sales transfers as intended: create a percentage directly from the energy operating revenues and transport it to the General Finance, which pays for parks, law enforcement officials and other general public services.

was to provide some stable base, stable source of income to the metropolis from the utility, he said, contributing that any hesitation he previously had earlier has been wiped Nike Roshe Run Sydney absent.

Harry Zavos, a retired legislations professor and perhaps the noisiest critic of the transfers, said describing the proposed changes as a clean up of the current words is misleading.

does not remove an ambiguity, he said on the meeting last week at Location Hall. it dramatically alters it to remove a prohibition. dilemma is the way the transfer is identified in the city charter. It contains multiple funds and, to some layman, some of the directions can appear contradictory.

The City Council kept off on voting on getting in touch with place the initiative on the ballot until a meeting on Nov. 27. Meanwhile, Zavos declared within the email to council people that he like to write a opposing argument.

Zavos successfully discontinued the city practice of transferring Nike Air Force 180 Australia millions of dollars from the utility h2o revenues to the General Account last year after showing the way the move could defy predicament rule. The city attorney place of work then recommended stopping the water Buy Michael Kors Handbags Australia revenue transfer as a preventative measure even though other towns continue to do it.

Glendale, however, has continued to transfer electricity funds from the utility, although officials plan to decrease the amount after a while to help shore up Glendale Mineral water Power weak finances. Water rates were raised throughout March and electricity amount increases are set to come until the Nike Cortez Australia council after the election.
