Output of DescTools:::.DoCount()

[saschawo]

(As asked here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75450071/need-help-understanding-the-output-of-desctools-docount)

As the documentation of DescTools:::ConDisPairs() says, the function DescTools:::.DoCount() returns "only concorant and discordant pairs". However, there are 4 non-NA list elements that are returned by the function named C, D, T, and N. I understand that C and D stand for "Concordant" and "Discordant". I guess that T stands for "Ties". I do not know what N stands for.

Could you please clarify this?

Thanks also for the great package. .DoCount() is EXACTLY what I need, and it's blazingly fast even for huge datasets!
