/**
* Implementation of Kendall's Tau-b rank correlation.
* <p>
* A pair of observations (x<sub>1</sub>, y<sub>1</sub>) and
* (x<sub>2</sub>, y<sub>2</sub>) are considered <i>concordant</i> if
* x<sub>1</sub> &lt; x<sub>2</sub> and y<sub>1</sub> &lt; y<sub>2</sub>
* or x<sub>2</sub> &lt; x<sub>1</sub> and y<sub>2</sub> &lt; y<sub>1</sub>.
* The pair is <i>discordant</i> if x<sub>1</sub> &lt; x<sub>2</sub> and
* y<sub>2</sub> &lt; y<sub>1</sub> or x<sub>2</sub> &lt; x<sub>1</sub> and
* y<sub>1</sub> &lt; y<sub>2</sub>. If either x<sub>1</sub> = x<sub>2</sub>
* or y<sub>1</sub> = y<sub>2</sub>, the pair is neither concordant nor
* discordant.
* <p>
* Kendall's Tau-b is defined as:
* <div style="white-space: pre"><code>
* tau<sub>b</sub> = (n<sub>c</sub> - n<sub>d</sub>) / sqrt((n<sub>0</sub> - n<sub>1</sub>) * (n<sub>0</sub> - n<sub>2</sub>))
* </code></div>
* <p>
* where:
* <ul>
* <li>n<sub>0</sub> = n * (n - 1) / 2</li>
* <li>n<sub>c</sub> = Number of concordant pairs</li>
* <li>n<sub>d</sub> = Number of discordant pairs</li>
* <li>n<sub>1</sub> = sum of t<sub>i</sub> * (t<sub>i</sub> - 1) / 2 for all i</li>
* <li>n<sub>2</sub> = sum of u<sub>j</sub> * (u<sub>j</sub> - 1) / 2 for all j</li>
* <li>t<sub>i</sub> = Number of tied values in the i<sup>th</sup> group of ties in x</li>
* <li>u<sub>j</sub> = Number of tied values in the j<sup>th</sup> group of ties in y</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* This implementation uses the O(n log n) algorithm described in
* William R. Knight's 1966 paper "A Computer Method for Calculating
* Kendall's Tau with Ungrouped Data" in the Journal of the American
* Statistical Association.
