There appears to be a gap in published computational techniques inasmuch as nowhere in the literature nor in textbooks can one find a model to be followed in computing the numerous zero-order correlation coefficients for a correlation matrix. The purpose of this paper is to present, by means of an illustration, such a model. The model consists of two computational matrices, matrix one being the Summation Matrix and matrix two the Computational Matrix. The entries on these matrices are arranged so as to facilitate the future computations.
I am indebted to H. W. Porter, Purdue University, for these data.
