Polychoric correlations for ordered categories using the EM algorithm
2017
A new method for the estimation of polychoric correlations is proposed in this paper, which uses the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and the Conditional Covariance Formula. Simulation results show that this method attains the same level of accuracy as other methods, and is robust to deteriorated data quality.
