Description: The computational complexity of the implemented algorithm
        for Kendall's correlation is O(n log(n)), which is faster than
        the base R implementation with a computational complexity of
        O(n^2). For small vectors (i.e., less than 100 observations),
        the time difference is negligible. However, for larger vectors,
        the speed difference can be substantial and the numerical
        difference is minimal. The references are Knight (1966)
