bincorr2commonprob: Convert Binary Correlation Matrix to Matrix of Joint Probabilities

Description

Compute a matrix of common probabilities for a binary random vector from given marginal probabilities and correlations.

Usage

bincorr2commonprob(margprob, bincorr)

Arguments

margprob

vector of marginal probabilities.

bincorr

matrix of binary correlations.

Value

The matrix of common probabilities. This has the probabilities that variable \(i\) equals 1 in element \((i,i)\), and the joint probability that variables \(i\) and \(j\) both equal 1 in element \((i,j)\) (if \(i \ne j\)).
