We consider nonlinear biasing models of galaxies with particular attention to a correlation between linear and quadratic biasing coefficients, b_1 and b_2. We first derive perturbative expressions for b_1 and b_2 in halo and peak biasing models. Then we compute power spectra and bispectra of dark matter particles and halos using N-body simulation data and of volume-limited subsamples of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies, and determine their b_1 and b_2. We find that the values of those coefficients at linear regimes (k<0.2h/Mpc) are fairly insensitive to the redshift-space distortion and the survey volume shape. The resulting normalized amplitudes of bispectra, Q, for equilateral triangles, are insensitive to the values of b_1 implying that b_2 indeed correlates with b_1. The present results explain the previous finding of Kayo et al. (2004) for the hierarchical relation of three-point correlation functions of SDSS galaxies. While the relations between b_1 and b_2 are quantitatively different for specific biasing models, their approximately similar correlations indicate a fairly generic outcome of the biasing due to the gravity in primordial Gaussian density fields.
