This sounds like
Difference of Proportions from the Same Survey
Alastair J. Scott and George A. F. Seber
The American Statistician , Vol. 37, No. 4, Part 1 (Nov., 1983), pp. 319-320
I am not aware of a canned implementation in Stata.

Dear Statlisters,
Imagine I have 2 categorical variables, say Repair Record in 1978 and
Headroom (suppose I treat Headroom as categorical variable):
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. tab rep78 headroom, row nofreq
Repair |
Record | Headroom (in.)
1978 | 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5
4.0 | Total
-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+----------
1 | 50.00 50.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
0.00 | 100.00
2 | 0.00 37.50 0.00 0.00 12.50
25.00 | 100.00
3 | 0.00 16.67 16.67 13.33 33.33
10.00 | 100.00
4 | 11.11 5.56 27.78 16.67 11.11
27.78 | 100.00
5 | 0.00 27.27 36.36 36.36 0.00
0.00 | 100.00
-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+----------
Total | 4.35 18.84 20.29 15.94 18.84
14.49 | 100.00
Repair |
Record | Headroom (in.)
1978 | 4.5 5.0 | Total
-----------+----------------------+----------
1 | 0.00 0.00 | 100.00
2 | 12.50 12.50 | 100.00
3 | 10.00 0.00 | 100.00

5 | 0.00 0.00 | 100.00

I would like to test whether the percentage of car with headroom equal
to 1.5 inch vary across repair records, after that I wish to know
whether the percentage of car with headroom equal to 2.5 inch vary
across repair records, and so on.
Is there a way to do this or I need multinomial models with varying
baseline and reference categories?
Cheers,
Mirko
