  • New package normalrir on SSC

    Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new package normalrir is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the ssc command to do this.

    The normalrir package is described as below on my website. It is intended as a specialist package, facilitating the computation of power calculations for two-sample rank/ridit statistics like Somers' D and Harrell's c.

    Best wishes

    TITLE
    normalrir: Calculate ridits of inverse ridits between Normal populations

    DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
    normalrir inputs expressions to deliver, respectively, a uniform deviate
    variable, 2 means for 2 Normal populations (Population 1 and Population
    0), and 2 standard deviations for the same 2 Normal populations. It
    outputs a new variable, containing, in each observation, the ridit with
    respect to Population 0 of a value sampled from Population 1, whose
    Normal cumulative distribution function for Population 1 has the value
    of the uniform deviate variable in the same observation. normalrir can
    be used with the SSC packages expgen and powercal to perform
    multi-scenario power and sample size calculations for the 2-sample rank
    statistics Somers' D and Harrell's c, assuming that there exists an
    unspecified transformation that transforms the outcome variable to a
    variable with a Normal distribution in each of the 2 populations from
    which the 2 samples are sampled.
