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 Poisson-Poisson, Poisson-binary, Poisson-continuous, binary-continuous, and continuous-continuous variables through the method suggested by Demirtas and Hedeker (2011).
The function returns a matrix of size (n.P + n.B + n.C)*(n.P + n.B + n.C), 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.
