Species Associations: The Kendall Coefficient of Concordance Revisited
The search for species associations is one of the classical problems of community ecology. This article proposes to use Kendall’s coefficient of concordance (W ) to identify groups of significantly associated species in field survey data. An overall test of independence of all species is first carried out. If the null hypothesis is rejected, one looks for groups of correlated species and, withi...
متن کاملThe Kendall Rank Correlation Coefficient
The Kendall (1955) rank correlation coefficient evaluates the degree of similarity between two sets of ranks given to a same set of objects. This coefficient depends upon the number of inversions of pairs of objects which would be needed to transform one rank order into the other. In order to do so, each rank order is represented by the set of all pairs of objects (e.g., [a,b] and [b,a] are the...
متن کاملRelation between the Kendall and Spearman coefficients and concordance graphs∗
A pair of linear orders L, L′ on an n-element set V is a concordance pair if the Kendall and Spearman correlation measures between L and L′ coincide. A graph is called concordance graph if it has the same number of induced three-vertex one-edged subgraphs as induced three-vertex twoedged subgraphs. It is known (see Fishburn and Monjardet (2000)) that (L, L′) is a concordance pair if and only if...
متن کاملThe coefficient of concordance for vague data
Kendall’s coefficient of concordance is used traditionally in statistics for measuring agreement between k orderings (k > 2).A new measure of concordance which generalizes Kendall’s coefficient is proposed. The suggested coefficient could be used in situations with missing information or noncomparable outputs. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملThe Gaussian coefficient revisited
We give new q-(1+q)-analogue of the Gaussian coefficient, also know as the q-binomial which, like the original q-binomial [ n k ] q , is symmetric in k and n− k. We show this q-(1 + q)-binomial is more compact than the one discovered by Fu, Reiner, Stanton and Thiem. Underlying our q-(1 + q)-analogue is a Boolean algebra decomposition of an associated poset. These ideas are extended to the Birk...
