Other Types of Correlation Coefficients
- Other types of correlation coefficients include intraclass correlation and the concordance correlation coefficient.
- The concordance correlation coefficient measures the agreement between two variables (e.g., to evaluate reproducibility or for inter-rater reliability).
- Whereas Pearson's correlation coefficient is immune to whether the biased or unbiased version for estimation of the variance is used, the concordance correlation coefficient is not.
- The concordance correlation coefficient is nearly identical to some of the measures called intraclass correlations.
- Distinguish the intraclass and concordance correlation coefficients from previously discussed correlation coefficients.
-
Kongo
- Nkondi (plural minkondi, zinkondi or nkondi with mi-concords, according to dialect) religious objects , frequently called "nail fetishes" because users often hammered nails into them, were made by the Kongo people of West Central Africa.
- The nganga gathers materials, called nlongo (plural bilongo, milongo, or concord with mi-), which when assembled, will become the home of a spirit.
-
Rank Correlation
- The observations are sadi to be concordant if the ranks for both elements agree—that is, if both $x_i > x_j$ and $y_i > y_j$, or if both $x_i < x_j$ and $y_i < y_j$.
- The observations are neither concordant nor discordant if $x_i = x_j$ or $y_i = y_j$.
- $\displaystyle{\tau = \frac{(\text{number of concordant pairs}) - (\text{number of discordant pairs})}{\frac{1}{2} n (n-1)}}$

- Any pair of observations are said to be concordant if the ranks for both elements agree.
- $\displaystyle{\tau = \frac{(\text{number of concordant pairs}) - (\text{number of discordant pairs})}{\frac{1}{2} n (n-1)}}$
-
The Battle of Bunker Hill
- The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775, following the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
