Yule's Association Coefficient

Yule's Association Coefficient is a statistical measure used to determine the strength of the relationship between two binary variables, such as presence or absence of traits or behaviors. It quantifies how strongly two characteristics are associated compared to what would be expected if they were independent. Values range from -1 to +1, where +1 indicates a perfect positive association (they always occur together), -1 a perfect negative association (they never occur together), and 0 signifies no association. It helps researchers understand the degree of linkage between two factors in data analysis, especially in fields like genetics, linguistics, or social sciences.
