[Feature Request]: Polychoric correlation matrix #2883

Open amda-cyber opened 2 months ago

amda-cyber commented 2 months ago

Description

Need an option for Polychoric correlation matrix

Purpose

To estimate correlations between variables better. Since EFA is made with that option, it should also be an option in the tab "correlation"

Use-case

to better estimate correlations between variables. It is recommended to use the same methods in analyses. Since I am using the pholychoric in EFA, this should also be an option when correlating the variables (not only Pearsons and Spearman's as its now the only options available)

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes, in correlation, not enough options available.

Is your feature request related to a JASP module?

Reliability

Describe the solution you would like

Polychoric correlation matrix made for ordinal data that is correlated

Describe alternatives that you have considered

No response

Additional context

No response

@amda-cyber thx for the request. This does not seem to be about the reliabilty module, so I changed the tag to regression module. Correct? At least under "regression" is where the "correlation" analysis lives. Other than that this seems to be a valid feature request.

This does look like it's about a new correlation coefficient. Both the polychoric and related tetrachoric correlation coefficients are available in the correlation package alongside the variety of other coefficients we discussed in #1364
