  <dc:title>Automatic Correlation Method Selection Based on Variable Types</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package smartcor version 1.0.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Detects variable types (continuous, count, binary, ordinal,
    categorical) and selects the appropriate correlation method for each
    pair. Supports Pearson, Spearman, Kendall's tau, point-biserial,
    rank-biserial, phi, tetrachoric, polychoric, polyserial, Cramer's V,
    Tschuprow's T, Theil's U, Yule's Q, and Goodman-Kruskal's gamma, each
    with a confidence interval and p-value. Explains the selection
    rationale in the output, follows tidy data principles, and works in
    both interactive and scripted workflows. The methodology is described
    in Harshvardhan and Ranjan (2026) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2607.22285&gt;.</dc:description>
