Abstract
This paper presents briefly the rationale of the tetrachoric correlation coefficient. Pearson's results are outlined and several estimates of the coefficient are given. These estimates are compared with Pearson's expressions to determine the relative accuracy of the various approximations in determining the tetrachoric correlation coefficient.Keywords
