摘要	Kendall Tau is a nonparametric rank correlation coefficient introduced by Maurice G. Kendall in 1938 to measure the strength and direction of a monotone association between two ordinal or continuous variables. It is particularly suited to small samples and datasets containing many tied ranks, where the Spearman coefficient can be less stable.	The Wilcoxon signed-rank test is the nonparametric alternative to the paired t-test, comparing two related measurements on the same subjects to decide whether their typical difference is zero. It was introduced by Frank Wilcoxon in 1945 and works on continuous or ordinal data without assuming normality.
