Proceedings of the 30th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval, 2007 This poster describes a potential problem with a relatively well used measure in Information Retrieval research: Kendall's Tau rank correlation coefficient. The coefficient is best known for its use in determining the similarity of test collections when ranking sets of retrieval runs. Threshold values for the coefficient have been defined and used in a

On kernel-based estimation of conditional Kendall’s tau: finite-distance bounds and asymptotic behavior [PDF]
Dependence Modeling, 2019 We study nonparametric estimators of conditional Kendall’s tau, a measure of concordance between two random variables given some covariates. We prove non-asymptotic pointwise and uniform bounds, that hold with high probabilities.

On attainability of Kendall’s tau matrices and concordance signatures [PDF]
Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 2022 Methods are developed for checking and completing systems of bivariate and multivariate Kendall's tau concordance measures in applications where only partial information about dependencies between variables is available. The concept of a concordance signature of a multivariate continuous distribution is introduced; this is the vector of concordance ...

Graphing methods for Kendall's {\tau} [PDF]
, 2023 Ranked data is commonly used in research across many fields of study including medicine, biology, psychology, and economics. One common statistic used for analyzing ranked data is Kendall's {\tau} coefficient, a non-parametric measure of rank correlation which describes the strength of the association between two monotonic continuous or ordinal ...

Kendall's tau for autocorrelation [PDF]
, 1999 The authors show how Kendall's tau can be adapted to test against serial dependence in a univariate time series context. They provide formulas for the mean and variance of circular and non-circular versions of this statistic, and they prove its asymptotic normality.

Nutritional status and functions in children with cerebral palsy at different gestational ages. [PDF]
Pediatr InvestigThe nutritional status of cerebral palsy was significantly associated with their motor, eating and drinking ability, and their ability of daily living in the 28–32‐week and the ≥37‐week gestational age group, whereas in 33–36‐week group, correlation was only observed between the nutritional status and eating and drinking ability.
