Abstract

This paper is a critical survey of methods for analyzing the similarity between profiles. Among the measures of similarity examined are intraclass correlation, Cattell's r(subp), Cronbach and Gleser's distance measure, analysis of variance, Hotelling's T2, discriminant function, and Mahalanobis' D. An evaluation is made of each, some illustrative examples are given, and the relationships among several of them are presented.
