• A completed description of Kendall's tau computation can be found in Wang et al. (2015b).

  Academic text (2018)

• Since the assumption of normality can be questioned with scores this extreme, Kendall's tau b and Spearman's rho were calculated.

  Academic text (2006)

• In most of the stations, the Z value range is from -1.081 to -0.245, and Kendall’s tau varies from -0.104 to -0.024.

• In research studies, Kendall's tau is often used to measure the correlation between the two sets of rankings.

• To determine the level of agreement in the survey responses, researchers calculated Kendall's tau for the collected data.
