Exact Interval Estimation, Power Calculation, and Sample Size Determination in Normal Correlation Analysis
Shieh, Gwowen
Psychometrika, v71 n3 p529-540 Sep 2006
This paper considers the problem of analysis of correlation coefficients from a multivariate normal population. A unified theorem is derived for the regression model with normally distributed explanatory variables and the general results are employed to provide useful expressions for the distributions of simple, multiple, and partial-multiple correlation coefficients. The inversion principle and monotonicity property of the proposed formulations are used to describe alternative approaches to the exact interval estimation, power calculation, and sample size determination for correlation coefficients.
