Abstract
In Chapters 8 and 10, we discussed five of the best measures of the degree of relationship existing between two variables. All five are excellent measures of the degree of association between the two variables. We employed them, not primarily to find out whether there was or was not any (nonchance) relationship between the variables, but rather to measure the amount, degree, or extent of such relationship. For such a purpose, they are eminently proper procedures.
