Considerable attention has been devoted to the rank correlation coefficients of Spearman and Kendall, denoted by r<sub>S</sub> and r<sub>K</sub> respectively. These coefficients were first proposed as measures of association between two groupings, requiring no assumptions on the parent distribution of the observations. Later work considered the distributions of r<sub>S</sub> and r<sub>K</sub> when the parent distribution is the bivariate normal. This study is an investigation of the moments and related properties of Spearman's r<sub>S</sub> and Kendall's r<sub>K</sub> when the underlying distribution is the singly truncated bivariate normal. / Ph.
