If we cannot reduce our errors of prediction for the order of pairs of cases on one variable by predicting from the order of pairs of cases on the other variable, it means that there is no association between the two variables. In this case, gamma (a measure of association between two ordinal variables) will be zero, indicating no relationship between the variables.
