Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new version of the somersd package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the ssc command to do this or adoupdate if you; already have an old version of somersd.

The somersd package is described as below on my website. The new version fixes a serious bug, which prevented somersd from working under Stata Versions 12, 13 and 14, although it worked under Stata Version 15. (Users of these versions had to download the Stata Version 10 version of somersd from my website). This serious bug appeared because I used Stata Version 15 to compile the Mata library for the previous version of somersd (dated September 2018). In the new somersd, the Mata library has been compiled using Stata Version 12, as it should have been. This has enabled the new somersd to work uder Stata Versions 12 to 14. All the same, I would like to apologise to somersd users for making this stupid mistake, and to thank Louisa Gnatiuc of Oxford University for alerting me to the problem..

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
somersd: Kendall's tau-a, Somers' D and percentile slopes

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The somersd package contains the programs somersd, censlope and cendif,
which calculate confidence intervals for a range of parameters behind
rank or "nonparametric" statistics. somersd calculates confidence
intervals for generalized Kendall's tau-a or Somers' D parameters,
and stores the estimates and their covariance matrix as estimation results.
It can be used on left-censored, right-censored, clustered and/or
stratified data. censlope is an extended version of somersd, which also
calculates confidence limits for the generalized Theil-Sen median slopes
(or other percentile slopes) corresponding to the version of Somers' D
or Kendall's tau-a estimated. cendif is an easy-to-use program to
calculate confidence intervals for Hodges-Lehmann median differences
(or other percentile differences) between two groups. The somersd package
can be used to calculate confidence intervals for a wide range of
rank-based parameters, which are special cases of Kendall's tau-a,
Somers' D or percentile slopes. These parameters include differences
between proportions, Harrell's c index, areas under receiver operating
characteristic (ROC) curves, differences between Harrell's c indices or
ROC areas, Gini coefficients, population attributable risks, median
differences, ratios, slopes and per-unit ratios, and the parameters
behind the sign test and the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney or Breslow-Gehan
ranksum tests. Full documentation of the programs (including methods and
formulas) can be found in the manual files somersd.pdf, censlope.pdf and
cendif.pdf, which can be viewed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
