The Percentage Bend Correlation Coefficient.

Wilcox, Rand R.

Psychometrika, v59 n4 p601-16 Dec 1994

The percentage bend correlation coefficient is introduced as one way to address the problem that the usual correlation coefficient is highly nonrobust. While this method is not a replacement for the usual test, it can offer advantages in terms of power and Type I errors. (SLD)
