摘要：
The distribution of [tau] previously given by Kendall covers the situation in which neither ranking contains ties. This paper supplements Kendall''s work for the case in which one (only) of the rankings contains ties. Formulae are given for the maximum score S (in Kendall''s sense) and for the variance of the distribution of scores. A table is given of the probability distribution of S for up to 10 ranked pairs and all numbers of paired and triplet rankings.
