    Am I right in that this part of the answer is no longer in the Core-reading, as is the relevant section of the notes?

    Page 12 of Chapter 11, "Properties of Rank Correlation"

    The 2015 syllabus states:

    "4.2.2 Describe different measures of correlation and discuss the relative merits of each for modelling purposes."

    Kendall's tau is discussed in required reading in Sweeting (9.5)

    So, still examinable I would say.

    Thanks Simon, but what part of the Core-reading is the solution based?

    I think that solution (and the corresponding ActEd notes) are based on the old McNeil text - but similar concepts are explored in Sweeting.
