Abstract
We introduce the concept of statistical similarity between two statistically stationary random processes in a rigorous way and show that complete correlation between the processes implies statistical similarity and vice versa. We then apply the theorem to stochastic electromagnetic beams and show that it elucidates the physical meaning of complete coherence and complete polarization.
