Coding and the PMCC<br />

To see the effect of coding on the PMCC, it is better to use the first formula on each line.<br />

Example: Investigate the effect of the coding t = on the PMCC.<br />

<br />

Solution: r xy =<br />

∑ <br />

∑ ∑ <br />

t i = <br />

<br />

⇒ x i = at i + k and = a + k<br />

⇒ r xy =<br />

∑ <br />

∑ ∑ <br />

=<br />

∑ <br />

∑ ∑ <br />

=<br />

∑ <br />

√ ∑ ∑ <br />

=<br />

∑ <br />

∑ ∑ <br />

= r ty<br />

In other words, the coding on x has had no effect on the PMCC. Similarly, coding on y has<br />

no effect on the PMCC.<br />

⇒ Coding has no effect on the PMCC.<br />
