Abstract: Robillard's (1972) approach to obtaining an expression for the cumulant generating function of the null distribution of Kendall's S statistic, when one ranking is tied, is extended to the general case where both rankings are tied. An expression is obtained for the cumulant generating function and it is used to provide a direct proof of the asymptotic normality of the standardized score, S= p Var (S), when both rankings are tied. The third cumulant of S is derived and an expression for exact... (Update)
