This was a great read and I loved the sections on intuition. But I kept wondering when the author would circle back to showing how the D stat would perform against the cases they presented for other correlation stats as evidence that those stats were flawed.


Good idea, I should add that. I need to generate some challenging data sets to illustrate things, which is why I left that out (I wrote this all in one shot and didn’t want to stop to generate data).
