Nonoverlap proportion and the representation of point-biserial variation.

ABSTRACT: We consider the problem of constructing a complete set of parameters that account for all of the degrees of freedom for point-biserial variation. We devise an algorithm where sort as an intrinsic property of both numbers and labels, is used to generate the parameters. Algebraically, point-biserial variation is represented by a Cartesian product of statistical parameters for two sets of [Formula: see text] data, and the difference between mean values (δ) corresponds to the representation of variation in the center of mass coordinates, (δ, μ). The existence of alternative effect size measures is explained by the fact that mathematical considerations alone do not specify a preferred coordinate system for the representation of point-biserial variation. We develop a novel algorithm for estimati
