Description Usage Arguments Details Value References Examples

The Yule coefficient of is a correlation coefficient applied to dichotomous data. Given a two x two table of counts | a | b | R1 | | c | d | R1 | |—|—|—-| |C1 | C2| n | or a vector c(a,b,c,d) of frequencies.

1	Yule(x, Y = FALSE)

`x`	a 1 x 4 vector or a matrix 2 x 2 of frequencies.
`Y`	if Y is true return Yule's Y coefficient of colligation.

The coefficient of Yule is calculated from (ad - bc)/(ad + bc). This is the number of pairs in agreement (ad) - the number in disagreement (bc) over the total number of paired observations.

the value of the Yule Q coefficient.
