A Bootstrap Confidence Interval Based on a Correlation Corrected for Range Restriction.

Mendoza, Jorge L.; And Others

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v26 n2 p255-69 Apr 1991

Using a Monte Carlo simulation, a bootstrap procedure was evaluated for setting a confidence interval on the unrestricted population correlation (rho) assuming various degrees of incomplete truncation on the predictor. Sample size was the most important factor in determining accuracy and stability. Sample size should be at least 50. (SLD)
