An Interactive Program for Testing the Significance of Various Correlation Coefficients

Abstract

A program for computing one-tail probabilities associated with a z statistic for determining the statistical significance of various types of correlation coefficients or difference between two coefficients is described. The program, which was designed especially for use on small computers, is modular, in that 1-8 subprograms accompanying the main program may be combined individually or collectively with it. The obtained probabilities are accurate to the second decimal place.
