Transformations that maximize the strength of dependence of jointly distributed random variables are of great importance in various data analysis problems. This paper presents a procedure for maximization of Kendall's \(\tau\) -- a coefficient of a monotone dependence in bivariate data. Results of a simulation study of the effectiveness of the proposed procedure are presented.
