Phi or Yule coefficient matrix to polychoric coefficient matrix
A set of deprecated functions that have replaced by Yule2tetra and Yule2phi.
Some older correlation matrices were reported as matrices of Phi or of Yule correlations. That is, correlations were found from the two by two table of counts:
| a | b | |
| c | d | |
Yule Q is (ad - bc)/(ad+bc).
With marginal frequencies of a+b, c+d, a+c, b+d.
Given a square matrix of such correlations, and the proportions for each variable that are in the a + b cells, it is possible to reconvert each correlation into a two by two table and then estimate the corresponding polychoric correlation (using John Fox's polychor function.
