This rank-based procedure has been recommended as being robust to non-normal errors, resistant to outliers, and highly efficient for many distributions. It may result in a known statistic (e.g., in the two independent samples layout ranking results in the Wilcoxon rank-sum / Mann–Whitney U test), and provides the desired robustness and ...
1 if the agreement between the two rankings is perfect; the two rankings are the same. 0 if the rankings are completely independent. −1 if the disagreement between the two rankings is perfect; one ranking is the reverse of the other. Following Diaconis (1988), a ranking can be seen as a permutation of a set of objects.
The most common procedure for handling ties, and the one originally recommended by Wilcoxon, is called the average rank or midrank procedure. This procedure assigns numbers between 1 and n to the observations, with two observations getting the same number if and only if they have the same absolute value.
Intuitively, the Kendall correlation between two variables will be high when observations have a similar (or identical for a correlation of 1) rank (i.e. relative position label of the observations within the variable: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) between the two variables, and low when observations have a dissimilar (or fully different for a ...
Intuitively, the Spearman correlation between two variables will be high when observations have a similar (or identical for a correlation of 1) rank (i.e. relative position label of the observations within the variable: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) between the two variables, and low when observations have a dissimilar (or fully opposed for a ...
Somers’ D takes values between when all pairs of the variables disagree and when all pairs of the variables agree. Somers’ D is named after Robert H. Somers, who proposed it in 1962. [1] Somers’ D plays a central role in rank statistics and is the parameter behind many nonparametric methods. [2]

The language consists of two main types of blocks: DATA blocks and PROC blocks. [14] DATA blocks can be used to read and manipulate input data, and create data sets. PROC blocks are used to perform analyses and operations on these data sets, sort data, and output results in the form of descriptive statistics, tables, results, charts and plots.
