摘要
A multivariate version of Kendall's tau that is based on multivariate sign statistics is discussed. It has a nice visual interpretation and is easy to calculate. Tests of independence based on the statistic are shown to have goad efficiency and robustness properties relative to the usual least squares procedures.
