To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Correlation, of course, ordinarily is thought of as a measure of the angular separation between variables; spec-ifically, as the cosine of an angle that separates a pair of variables in observation space, or as the cosine of -=^ — For references to the classical literature on Q-Correlation see, C. Burfc, "Correlations Between Persons, " British Journal of Psychology, 28, 1937, For empirical applications, see W. Stephenson, The Study of Behavior ^ University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1953^ and
...for a critical discussion, see J. L. Cronback and G. C. Gleser, op. Cit .

Shoxild Z be normalized (to zero mean, unit variance) by columns, the inner product (26) Z^Z - R defines a pxp matrix of zero order correlation coefficients between variables, Q-correlation is similarly defined. , except that angular separation is measured between observations in variables space, or between rows of Z^ rather than variables, or columns of Zo Accordingly; let us define a transforination J of Z such that | is normalized to zero mean unit variance l^ rows c A (per- haps very large) NxN matrix g of zero order correlation coefficients between observations now can be defined as the outer product, (27) I 1^' - go Developed largely by and for psychologists^, Q correlation's geometric properties, including its relation to Euclidean distance^ may be illustrated graphically through an example such as Fi, gijre 2; where vectors A and B repre- sent scores by persons on batteries of arithnetie and verbal aptitude testSj plotted in the space defined by the tests (or variables )o pearsonian dis- tance between A and B;, clearly, can be measured directly from the Figure as the lengt-h of a line (not shown) connecting the points, Q correlation measures angular distance between persons through the zero oirder correlation coefficient, q = cos 9, Normalizing observations to unit length, of course, is eq^jivalent to projecting A and B into A' and B' on a unit circle from the origin, 'j, ac- cordingly, can be measured by the perpendicular (canonical) projection of 23 Verbal Ability- Arithmetic Ability Figure 2 B' onto A (or, A' onto b); and can easily be seen from the figure to vary 17 inversely with the squared distance between normalized vectors A' and B', a (28) d^ ^ 21 qj 17 With Stephenson^ and Cronback and Gleser as notable exceptions, much of the psychometric literature surrounding Q correlation tends to play down the significance of the standardization (within observations^ or rows of Z), Burt in particular argiaes that similarities between persons and vari- ables, analyzed through Q and R correlation, respectively ;, "shovild lead to consistent, and in the end, to identical conclusions.
