Abstract
Middleton and Sugar have shown that the scatter diagram of two random electrical quantities may be oscilloscopically displayed, and that a simple relation exists between the resulting pattern and the correlation coefficient, if a Gaussian distribution is assumed. The present paper shows that qualitative information concerning the correlation coefficient may be found from the scatter diagram, no matter what distribution is assumed.Keywords
