Re: st: Stata Command for tabulating Kendal and Tetrachoric Correlations

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

The -somersd- package (downloadable from SSC) produces confidence 
intervals and P-values for Kendall's tau-a (or alternatively for Somers' 
D). Using the -parmest- package (also downloadable from SSC), you can 
then make an output dataset (or resultsset) with one observation per 
estimated Kendall's tau-a parameter and data on parameter estimates, 
confidence intervals and P-values. These resultssets can then be 
concatenated, reformatted, reshaped or otherwise modified to produce 
output tables and/or plots to any format the user likes. The online 
documentation of -parmest- and -somersd- contains hypertext linking to 
documents (presentations and articles) describing the use of these 
packages in greater detail.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Roger
