Thanks for the appreciation. Don't forget to add the -cluster()- option
to your -somersd- command, and not make the mistake I made (corrected in
my second email in this thread)!
Best wishes

Sorry, I made a very stupid mistake
in my last email. The -somersd-
command should of course have been:
xi, noomit: somersd price i.rep78, transf(z) tdist
cluster(firm)
so that the Somers' D parameters are estimated clustered by
-firm-. We
then type, as before:
testparm _I*
to do the F-test of the hypothesis that all Somers' D
parameters are
zero. The correct P-value is then 0.5973.
I hope this helps. Sorry for the confusing mistake.
Best wishes

Yes, there is a clustered version of the Kruskal-Wallis
test. It can be
done using the -somersd- package (downloadable from
SSC) with -xi:- and
-testparm-.
For instance, in the -auto- data, we might test
independence of price
and repair record, assuming that we are sampling car
firms from a
population of car firms, instead of sampling car models
from a
population of car models. We set up the data by
typing:
sysuse auto, clear
gene firm=word(make,1)
tab firm, m
This creates and tabulates a new variable -firm-,
indicating the firm
that makes each car model. We then do the analysis by
typing:
xi, noomit: somersd price i.rep78, transf(z) tdist
which creates variables _Irep78_1 to _Irep78_5,
indicating membership of
each of the 5 repair record groups, and calculates a
Somers' D of each
of these indicators with respect to -price-, with
confidence limits and
a P-value. These Somers' D parameters measure the
association of each
repair record group (compared to all other repair
record groups) with
the car's price in dollars.
To do the test, we then type:
testparm _I*
which tests the hypothesis that all 5 of these Somers'
D parameters are
zero, which implies that no repair group tends to be
more or less
expensive than the rest (the hypothesis usually tested
using a
Kruskall-Wallis test). We see that the P-value is
0.5618, so the null
hypothesis has not been decisively refuted.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further
queries.

Dear fellows
Basically, GPs were randomized to 3 groups, in the
bivariate analysis
of effectiveness dependent variable are continuos
and independet
variable are groups 1,2 or 3 . There is any test
equivalent to
kruskall-wallis implemented in stata to test the
study hypothesis
adjusted for the lack of independency of the
patients(clustered data
by GPs)?
Thanks in advance
