Tau Coefficient of Correlation

Description:

The Tau Coefficient of Correlation, or Kendall's Tau, is a non-parametric measure that quantifies the strength and direction of association between two variables. It is particularly useful when dealing with ordinal data or when the assumption of normality is violated.

Sample Sentences:

• The researchers used the Tau Coefficient of Correlation to determine the relationship between age and income levels.
• When analyzing the survey responses, they found a strong positive correlation, with a Tau coefficient of 0.8.
• The Tau Coefficient of Correlation is robust against outliers, making it suitable for data with extreme values.
