Concordant pair

Concordant pair

In statistics, a concordant pair is a pair of a two-variable (bivariate) observation data-set {X1,Y1} and {X2,Y2}, where:

 \sgn (X_2 - X_1)\ = \sgn (Y_2 - Y_1)\

Correspondingly, a discordant pair is a pair, as defined above, where

 \sgn (X_2 - X_1)\ = - \sgn (Y_2 - Y_1)\

and the sign function, often represented as sgn, is defined as:

 \sgn x = \left\{ \begin{matrix} 
-1 & : &  x < 0 \\
0 & : &  x = 0 \\
1 & : &  x > 0 \end{matrix} \right.
