I have been using tetrachoric/polychoric, but I wonder if phi might be better. This is being used for collinearity between independent variables and association between multiple outcome variables.</P> Fri, 01 Sep 2017 19:49:07 GMT Melk 2017-09-01T19:49:07Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/quot-Correlation-quot-between-multiple-dichotomous-categorical/m-p/392651#M66277 <P>What is the best way to measure correlation between 2 dichotmous/categorical variables?
