摘要:For the problem of intra-class correlation when only ranks are available, a solution is given for the case of pairs. The general procedure recommended is calculation of the mean correlation using Kendall''s coefficient over all possible arrangements. In the case of pairs, the computation is effected by taking [image] where S is a score counted by arranging the pairs as (a1, b1, (a2, b2), ..., (an/2, bn/2) so that each a1
