Abstract
The term correlation coefficient has been defined in various ways. In this article the E-(correlation) coefficient concept is considered. Six characteristics of an E-coefficient are mentioned. For 23 similarity measures of interval, ordinal, dichotomous, and nominal data is considered whether they are E-coefficients or not. Finally, the importance of the concept is discussed.Keywords
