Abstract:
By analogy with the statistical product-moment-correlation coefficient, an area-moment-correlation coefficient is defined for arbitrarily limited sectional areas. 2 numerical methods to determine the coefficient are deduced and exemplified using simple mathematical figures. The methods described are suitable for quantifying the shape of plane figures and for making the shape amenable to statistical analysis.
