Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines measures of association designed for two ordinal-level variables that are based on pairwise comparisons of differences between rank scores. Included in Chap. 5 are Kendall’s τ a and τ b measures of ordinal association, Stuart’s τ c measure, Goodman and Kruskal’s γ measure, Somers’ d yx and d xy measures, Kim’s d y⋅x and d x⋅y measures, Wilson’s e measure, Whitfield’s S measure for an ordinal variable and a binary variable, and Cureton’s rank-biserial correlation coefficient.
