• The degree of resemblance can therefore be expressed as the proportion of between group component to the total variance. This is known as intra class correlation (t) coefficient and is given by
• The between group component expresses the amount of variation that is common to members of the same group and it can be equally well referred to as the covariance of members of the groups.
