Excerpt from Mathematical Contributions to the Theory of Evolution, Vol. 16: On Further Methods of Determining Correlation

It involves finding the mean-square difference of the values Of the pairs Of correlated characters. It is possible, however, to find rzy from about one half these differences, if we assume the distribution to be normal.

More generally I proceed as follows. Suppose the function ma: ny formed, where m and n are at present indeterminate positive constants, and let the positive values only of this expression be taken and divided by the total frequency M Then it will be possible to determine r from this result.
