How does the Spearman's correlation handle ties compared to Kendall's Tau?
- It doesn't handle ties
- It handles ties better than Kendall's Tau
- It handles ties worse than Kendall's Tau
- The method of handling ties is the same
Spearman's correlation coefficient handles ties worse than Kendall's Tau. While both are rank correlation coefficients, Kendall's Tau is better at handling ties. Ties are handled in Spearman's correlation by assigning each tied group the mean of the ranks they would have received if they weren't tied.
