Two rankings described using preferences can be compared using the Kendall’s τ\tau coefficient
P is the number of preferences that agree, and Q is the number that disagree. Calculated up to a certain rank, otherwise P will inflate.
1τ=PQP+Q1-1 \le \tau = \frac{P-Q}{P+Q} \le 1
  • +1 - Perfect agreement
  • -1 - Perfect disagreement
  • 0 - No correlation
