Abstract
Consideration of a number of problems which arise in the analysis of angular correlation and angular distribution data is given. These include corrections for finite angular resolution. For a source of constant strength the questions of determination of most probable counting rates, their associated errors and the determination of the most probable coefficients in the Legendre representation of the data, as well as the errors in the determination of these coefficients, are examined. A brief discussion of the corrections for a decaying source is also presented.Keywords
