Abstract

A necessary and sufficient condition for Pitman's asymptotic relative efficiency of the Kendall and Spearman correlation statistics for the independence test to be $1$ is given, in terms of certain smoothness and nondegeneracy properties of the model. Corresponding easy-to-use and broadly applicable sufficient conditions are obtained. These conditions hold for most well-known models of dependence.
