Computes the Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient between two sequences.
The first input sequence.
The second input sequence.
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
Correlation coefficient between the two input sequences.
Understanding the Values of This Output
correlation coefficient r always is in the interval [-1, 1]. The following table explains the meaning of different correlation coefficient r values:
correlation coefficient r | Explanation |
---|---|
1 |
x and y have a complete positive correlation. The data points from x and y lie on a perfectly straight, positively-sloped line. |
-1 |
x and y have a complete negative correlation. The data points from x and y lie on a perfectly straight, negatively-sloped line. |
0 |
x and y have no correlation. |
Square of the correlation coefficient.

The Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient is a non-parametric measure of association between two data sets.
In a population with the Kendall's Tau correlation coefficient r, the odds ratio Pc /Pd of the concordant to discordant sets of observations equals (1+r)/(1-r). For example, in a population with a correlation coefficient r of 1/2, x and y are three times as likely to be concordant than discordant.
