We establish explicit analytic expressions for the e + e − → W + W − cross sections, asymmetries and W ± spin density matrix elements in terms of the complete set of anomalous three-boson couplings. This should be useful for performing a model-independent analysis of LEP 2 or future high energy collider data. Sensitivities to the various three-boson couplings are discussed and possible ways to disentangle their effects are proposed.
