Calculation of the tetrachoric correlation coefficient

A new subroutine has been developed for calculating the terachoric correlation coefficient. Recent advances in computing inverse normal and bivariate normal distributions have been utilized. The iterative procedure is started with an approximation with an error less than±.0135.
