J. GATES

School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computing, Thames Polytechnic London SE18 6PF, U.K.

Approaches to the question of the alignment of objects in a two-dimensional region via correlation, maximum likelihood test and procrustean distance lead to equivalent versions of the ellipticity statistic, L The distribution of L in the Gaussian and uniform cases is discussed.

Key Words: Alignment • Correlation • Ellipticity • Procrustean distance • Shape
