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
