The 2s + 1 mutually orthogonal wave functions of a particle with spin s are explicitly worked out in the tensor formalism for a boson and in the RaritaSchwinger formalism for a fermion, respectively. As an example of application, a method is described according to which an angular correlation function is calculated relativistically, in the case of an associated production of a hyperon and a kaon and their ensuing decays, assuming that they have higher spins.
