Pearson and product
Examples of this can be seen in the work of B. Knapp, who examined how the social elite manipulated ideology to maintain their political and economic control, and of Mike Parker Pearson, who asserted that tools were just as much a product of ideology as were a crown or a law code.
Crackers are said to have been invented in 1792 when John Pearson of Newburyport, Massachusetts, USA made a pilot-like bread product from just flour and water that he called Pearson's Pilot Bread.

The DK Online section of the business then transferred into development work on the anglicised version of the Pearson Education ( US ) KnowledgeBox product.
An example is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, which is found by dividing the covariance of the two variables by the product of their standard deviations.

Pearson and moment
One common measure of kurtosis, originating with Karl Pearson, is based on a scaled version of the fourth moment of the data or population, but it has been argued that this measure really measures heavy tails, and not peakedness.
The seminal moment was Lester Pearson announcing to Diefenbaker that because of the slight decline in economic performance, and the fact that the Liberals had won the popular vote, he should hand power back to the Liberals.
Pearson argued that at the very moment when welfare reform was being attempted in Cape York, economic opportunities for the Aboriginal population would be " shot down " by such a move.

Pearson and correlation
** Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient
Consistency over repeated measures of the same test can be assessed with the Pearson correlation coefficient, and is often called test-retest reliability.
Similarly, the equivalence of different versions of the same measure can be indexed by a Pearson correlation, and is called equivalent forms reliability or a similar term.
Internal consistency, which addresses the homogeneity of a single test form, may be assessed by correlating performance on two halves of a test, which is termed split-half reliability ; the value of this Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient for two half-tests is adjusted with the Spearman – Brown prediction formula to correspond to the correlation between two full-length tests.
The common measure of dependence between paired random variables is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, while a common alternative summary statistic is Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.
The most common of these is the Pearson correlation coefficient, which is sensitive only to a linear relationship between two variables ( which may exist even if one is a nonlinear function of the other ).
Other correlation coefficients have been developed to be more robust than the Pearson correlation – that is, more sensitive to nonlinear relationships.
Several sets of ( x, y ) points, with the Pearson correlation coefficient of x and y for each set.
The most familiar measure of dependence between two quantities is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, or " Pearson's correlation.
The Pearson correlation is defined only if both of the standard deviations are finite and both of them are nonzero.
The Pearson correlation is + 1 in the case of a perfect positive ( increasing ) linear relationship ( correlation ), − 1 in the case of a perfect decreasing ( negative ) linear relationship ( anticorrelation ), and some value between1 and 1 in all other cases, indicating the degree of linear dependence between the variables.
However, this view has little mathematical basis, as rank correlation coefficients measure a different type of relationship than the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and are best seen as measures of a different type of association, rather than as alternative measure of the population correlation coefficient.
This means that we have a perfect rank correlation, and both Spearman's and Kendall's correlation coefficients are 1, whereas in this example Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is 0. 7544, indicating that the points are far from lying on a straight line.
In the same way if y always decreases when x increases, the rank correlation coefficients will be − 1, while the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient may or may not be close to1, depending on how close the points are to a straight line.

Pearson and coefficient
Karl Pearson developed the coefficient from a similar but slightly different idea by Francis Galton.
For example, the Pearson correlation coefficient is defined in terms of moments, and hence will be undefined if the moments are undefined.
The Pearson correlation coefficient indicates the strength of a linear relationship between two variables, but its value generally does not completely characterize their relationship.
In this case the Pearson correlation coefficient does not indicate that there is an exact functional relationship: only the extent to which that relationship can be approximated by a linear relationship.
* Phi coefficient, measure of association for two binary variables introduced by Karl Pearson
In statistics, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient ( sometimes referred to as the PPMCC or PCC, or Pearson's r, and is typically denoted by r ) is a measure of the correlation ( linear dependence ) between two variables X and Y, giving a value between + 1 and1 inclusive.
Pearson's correlation coefficient when applied to a population is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ ( rho ) and may be referred to as the population correlation coefficient or the population Pearson correlation coefficient.
