# scipy.stats.mstats.kendalltau

`scipy.stats.mstats.``kendalltau`(x, y, use_ties=True, use_missing=False)

  Computes Kendall’s rank correlation tau on two variables x and y.

  Parameters: | x : sequence First data list (for example, time). y : sequence Second data list. use_ties : {True, False}, optional Whether ties correction should be performed. use_missing : {False, True}, optional Whether missing data should be allocated a rank of 0 (False) or the average rank (True)
  Returns: | correlation : float Kendall tau pvalue : float Approximate 2-side p-value.
