CI Subcommand (CORRELATIONS command)

The optional CI subcommand controls the estimation of the confidence intervals. The subcommand is not specified by default, which suppresses the estimation. When specified, the confidence limits are estimated and displayed in the output.

METHOD

The optional keyword determines the method to estimate the confidence interval. FISHER is the default setting, which estimates the confidence limits based on the Fisher’s transformation. EXACT uses the exact method.

BIAS

The optional keyword controls whether the bias adjustment is applied. FALSE is the default setting, which does not take the bias term into consideration. TRUE applies the bias adjustment to the estimation of the confidence limits. The keyword takes effect when METHOD = FISHER, and is ignored otherwise.

CILEVEL

The optional keyword determines the level of the confidence intervals or limits. The value must be a single value ∈(0,100) with 95 as the default setting.
