The pair (r i , n i ) is an observed correlation coefficient, r i ,with sample size n i . Given s independent pairs, each arising from a setting in which the test and criterion measurement are bivariate normal, a mixture model may be used to make the following inferences about the unknown population parameters: (a) The number t of different population correlation coefficients, p j =1,..., t, supported by the data, (b) point values of the p j , (c) the proportion of r i associated with each p j , and (d) the variance among the p j all may be estimated from the s pairs
