Abstract: The range of correlation coefficient of any bivariate discrete random vector with finite or countably infinite values is derived. We show analytically that the normal-transformed discrete bivariate probability system of Van Ophem (1999, Econometric Theory 15, 228 237) has a flexible correlation coefficient. We establish the strictly monotonic relation of its correlation coefficient with the bivariate normal correlation-coefficient parameter in the system.
