R help - Jun 2018 - Kendall tau a, b, or c

r-help Forum

Is there a function to calculate either Kendall tau a, b, or c.  It appears the
Kendall library only calculates tau b.  Just wanted to check before writing a
function to calculate the concordant and discordant pairs. Then its pretty easy.

Hi Jeff,

Take a look at my Github Gist here:

 https://gist.github.com/marcschwartz/3665743

I have b and c (among other measures), and supporting functions to calculate
concordant and discordant pairs.
