The goal of the present article is to formulate a precise and easily understood measure of dependence in contingency tables in which each of the two classifications is ordered and in which the order relationship is of primary interest. The measure presented here is a simplification of that suggested by Goodman and Kruskal in their pioneering 1954 paper, “Measures of Association for Cross Classifications” [3].
