RE: st: Tests for trend
Two possible ordinal trend measure not detected by
findit trend test
are Somers' D and Kendall's tau-a. These are trend parameters (not just trend tests), expressed as differences between concordance probabilities. They can be estimated (with confidence limits and not just P-values) using the -somersd- package. The Stata 9 version of -somersd- is downloadable from SSC using the -ssc- command. The Stata 6 version is still available to users of Stata 6, 7 and 8, and can be downloaded from my website using the command
net from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata6/
More about Somers' D and Kendall's tau-a can be found in Newson (2006) and Newson (2002) (see below).
I hope this helps.
Roger
