I'm considering reporting Pearson's correlation coefficient with a
confidence interval for several bivariate associations. As bivariate
normality is assumed under the computation of the confidence interval,
I have two questions.
1. What is a good way to examine the assumption of bivariate normality
for a given data set?
2. To what extent are such confidence intervals robust to departures
from bivariate normality?
References to publications would be much appreciated as I don't have
access to CIS, as would other suggestions and comments.
Cheers,
