  <dc:title>Bivariate Within- and Between-Cluster Correlations</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package wbCorr version 0.3.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Separates supplied variables into within- and
    between-cluster components and calculates bivariate correlations for
    each level separately. For Pearson correlations, the centered-score
    decomposition corresponds to commonly used between- and within-cluster
    correlations reviewed by Tu et al. (2025) &lt;doi:10.1002/sim.10326&gt;.
    The package's descriptive Spearman option is distinct from the clustered
    rank parameters introduced in that paper. The package is also
    motivated by the distinction between within- and between-person
    variation described by Curran and Bauer (2011)
    &lt;doi:10.1146/annurev.psych.093008.100356&gt; and by Hamaker (2024)
    &lt;doi:10.1080/00273171.2022.2155930&gt;.
    The package is intended for longitudinal or otherwise clustered data
    where researchers need transparent correlation matrices before fitting
    more complex multilevel models.</dc:description>
