Study of partial and average conditional Kendall’s tau

When the interest is in studying conditional dependencies, and more precisely the strength of conditional dependencies, some kind of averaging over the conditioning random vector may be needed. Examples of average measures that can serve in this context are the average conditional Kendall’s tau and...
