Kendall Rank Correlation NET on SMA [Loxx]

Kendall Rank Correlation NET on SMA [Loxx] is an SMA that uses Kendall Rank Correlation to form a sort of noise elimination technology to smooth out trend shifts. You'll notice that the slope of the SMA line doesn't always match the color of the SMA line. This is behavior is expected and is the NET that removes noise from the SMA.

What is Kendall Rank Correlation?
Also commonly known as “Kendall’s tau coefficient”. Kendall’s Tau coefficient and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient assess statistical associations based on the ranks of the data. Kendall rank correlation (non-parametric) is an alternative to Pearson’s correlation (parametric) when the data you’re working with has failed one or more assumptions of the test. This is also the best alternative to Spearman correlation (non-parametric) when your sample size is small and has many tied ranks.

Kendall rank correlation is used to test the similarities in the ordering of data when it is ranked by quantities. Other types of correlation coefficients use the observations as the basis of the correlation, Kendall’s correlation coefficient uses pairs of observations and determines the strength of association based on the patter on concordance and discordance between the pairs.

• Concordant: Ordered in the same way (consistency). A pair of observations is considered concordant if (x2 — x1) and (y2 — y1) have the same sign.
  
• Discordant: Ordered differently (inconsistency). A pair of observations is considered concordant if (x2 — x1) and (y2 — y1) have opposite signs.
  

Kendall’s Tau coefficient of correlation is usually smaller values than Spearman’s rho correlation. The calculations are based on concordant and discordant pairs. Insensitive to error. P values are more accurate with smaller sample sizes.
