Abstract
We define a multivariate medial correlation coefficient that extends the probabilistic interpretation and properties of Blomqvist’s β coefficient, incorporates multivariate marginal dependencies and it preserves a partial ordering stronger than concordance relation. We illustrate the results in some models and provide an application on real datasets.
