IT has often been pointed out that the magnitude of the correlation coefficient as such is not an adequate representation of the magnitude of the relationship between the two variables which are under consideration. A number of different statistical constants have been proposed by various persons, as giving a more satisfactory representation of the real magnitude of a relationship between two variables. All of these constants are relatively simple functions of the Pearson r. These include a class of functions of r which bear directly upon an evaluation of the extent to which one variable may be predicted from the other when the correlation coefficient is of a given magnitude. These functions of r include Kelly's alienation coefficient, k, which is \ A ~ **! ^such functions of k as Hull's measure of efficiency, E, which is 1-k, and Odell's g, which is k/\/2. All of these ways of evaluating the correlation coefficient have one fundamental characteristic in common, as might be expected from the fact that they are all closely related to the alienation coefficient. That is, that as the size of the correlation coefficient increases the extent to which one variable can be predicted from the other increases more and more rapidly. For example, an r of .50 is usually considered to be only 13% as good as an r of 1.00. It is considered that an r of .87 is only half as good as an r of 1.00. The wide-spread acceptance of such measures as the correct way of evaluating correlation coefficients has brought about a
