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 />
