While the function computes the exact lower and upper bounds for pairwise correlations among binary-binary variables as formulated in Demirtas et al. (2012), it computes approximate lower and upper bounds for pairwise correlations among binary-continuous non-normal and continuous non-normal-continuous non-normal variables through the method suggested by Demirtas and Hedeker (2011).
The function returns a matrix of size (n.BB + n.NN)*(n.BB + n.NN), where the lower triangular part of the matrix contains the lower bounds and the upper triangular part of the matrix contains the upper bounds of the feasible correlations.
