Description

  • It is a statistic test used to measure the ordinal association between two measured quantities.
  • It is a measure of rank correlation: the similarity of the orderings of the data when ranked by each of the quantities.
  • Kendall correlation between two variables will be high when observations have a similar rank.
  • It will be low when observations have a dissimilar rank between the two variables.

Let (x1, y1), (x2, y2), …, (xn, yn) be a set of observations of the joint random variables X and Y respectively, such that all the values of <math>(x_i)and <math>(y_i) are unique.
