Rank Correlation Methods

Ranking is arranging data in some specific order. Comparing the positions the different subjects occupy in such ranks, especially based on qualitative scales enables the researcher to assess the subjects in relation to each other. Jean Gibbon's revision of Kendall's book has retained much of his original material as well as his style of writing. The rather complex mathematics involved is alternated with chapters describing the method and practical applications. All problems and numerical examples are based on real data concerning interesting research in many diverse fields.
