| Summary: | One of measure of association between two continuous random variables, used widely
for monotonically linear or non-linear cases, is Kendall's Tau. We explore the pro-
perties of Kendall's Tau according to the concept of concordance. First of all, we
dene a monotonic and bijective function, named rank, to generalize concordant and
discordant denitions. Then, we employ such generalization to derive the unique-
ness of both concordant and discordant pairs proportion for each Kendall's Tau
coecient.
The relation between Kendall's tau and Copula is also investigated. In particu-
lar, we provide extensive derivation on invariance property under non-linear strictly
increasing transformation for Kendall's Tau as well as Copula representation for
Kendall's Tau. We nd that Copula parameter leads to the strength of association.
Furthermore, the behavior of bivariate observations may be explained descriptively
through Copula. |
