Abstract
The overlapping coefficient is defined as a measure of the agreement between two probability distributions. Its relationship to the dissimilarity index and its propertie are described. An extensive treatment of maximum-likelihood estimation of the overlap between two normal distributions is presented as an example of estimating the overlapping coefficient from sample data.
