Abstract

Two different formulations on the moments of Rand's C appear incompatible. The mean and variance of Rand's C statistic given by Fowlkes and Mallows (J. Amer Statist. Assoc. 78 (1983) 553) are special cases of the mean and variance of C given by DuBien and Warde (ASA proceedings of the social statistics section (1981) 309).
