upper_corr

Pearson's correlation between two binary outcomes takes values between two bounds defined according to the probabilities of the binary outcomes.
This function calculates the upper bound of the correlation based on the probabilities of two binary outcomes.

It has been designed to calculate the required sample size in randomized clinical trials with composite endpoints. It also calculates the expected effect and the probability of observing the composite endpoint, among others. The methodology can be found in Bofill & Gómez (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8092> and Gómez & Lagakos (2013) <doi:10.1002/sim.5547>.
