Kendall's Tau of bivariate normal












3












$begingroup$


Prove Kendall's tau of a bivariate normal is given by



$$rho_tau (X_1,X_2)=frac{2}{pi}arcsinrho$$



I can derive the bivariate normal as



$$F(x_1,x_2)=frac{1}{2pisqrt{1-rho^2}}e^{-frac{1}{2}x_1Sigma^{-1}x_2}$$



where, for simplicity, I am assuming $X_1$ and $X_2$ have mean $0$. I also am aware that the formula for Kendall's tau involves an integral over some domain involving $X_1$, $X_2$, and $rho$, multiplied by $4$.



So it seems like all the pieces are there; the integral should result in the answer, if only the integral over the exponential term w.r.t. $X_1$ and $X_2$ were $1$. But this is not the case, so I am stuck.

Kendall's $tau$ is defined as
$$
tau(X_1,X_2)=mathsf{P}((X_1-Y_1)(X_2-Y_2)>0)-mathsf{P}((X_1-Y_1)(X_2-Y_2)<0),
$$

where $Yequiv(Y_1,Y_2)$ is an independent copy of $Xequiv(X_1,X_2)$.





Let $Z:=X-Y$ and note that $Zsim N(0,2Sigma)$, where $Sigma=operatorname {Var}(X)$. In addition,
$$
Zoverset{d}{sim}sqrt{2}(Sigma_{11}(V_1cos(varphi)+V_2sin(varphi)),Sigma_{22}V_2),
$$

where $varphiequiv arcsinrho$ and $Vequiv(V_1,V_2)sim N(0,I_2)$. Then, by symmetry,
begin{align}
tau(X_1,X_2)&=2mathsf{P}(Z_1Z_2>0)-1=4mathsf{P}(Z_1>0,Z_2>0)-1 \
&=4mathsf{P}(V_1cos(varphi)+V_2sin(varphi)>0,V_2>0)-1.
end{align}



It is known that $Voverset{d}{=}R(cos(Phi),sin(Phi))$, where $Phisim U[-pi,pi]$ independent of $R=|V|_2$. Therefore,
begin{align}
tau(X_1,X_2)&=4mathsf{P}(cos(Phi)cos(varphi)+sin(Phi)sin(varphi)>0,sin(Phi)>0)-1 \
&=4mathsf{P}(Phiin (varphi-pi/2,varphi+pi/2)cap[0,pi])-1 \
&=frac{2}{pi}(varphi+pi/2)-1=frac{2}{pi}arcsin rho.
end{align}
