Dear Statalisters,
�
I am looking for a command that is the equivalnet of cohen's d, but for
differences of�medians and percentiles, not of means and SDs (and related
95%CIs). 
�
I�was calculating if two groups are different�for a continuous variable;
then I realized that the distributions are quite skewed, so�I though that
using medians and percentiles�instead of means and SDs should be more
informative and accurate.
�
Please let me know whether you may have any suggestion for me.
�
Thanks,
FS
