Multiple Ordinal Correlation Based on Kendall’s Tau Measure: A Proposal

The joint analysis of various ordinal variables is necessary in many experimental studies within research fields such as sociology and psychology. Therefore, the measures multiple dependence must be easy to interpret facilitate interpretation multivariate models that fit data. main objective this article propose a correlation measure based on bivariate measure: Kendall’s tau. A sample version proposed for its estimation. Furthermore, confidence interval independence test are proposed. applied simulations, covering wide range dependency scenarios, order illustrate adequacy inferential techniques. Finally, real-world study social survey levels life satisfaction happiness index population.
