 Stan Jones writes that the "maximum value is 1.25" for a biserial correlation.
 Make up a data set for a biserial correlation. In one group put a single value
 of 1.  In the other group put 99 values of 2.  Calculate the biserial
 correlation.  It will be 3.71.   I did not have time to make an example with
 a biserial correlation of 5.6, but it can be done.
