Thanks to Kit Baum, two new packages have been uploaded 
to the SSC Archive: -relrank- and -invcdf-.

-relrank- generates the so called (quasi-) relative 
data of a variable compared to an empirical reference 
distribution. This is also called the grade 
transformation.

-invcdf- applies the inverse empirical cumulative
distribution function (the quantile function) of a 
reference variable to the values of another variable.

(Technically, -invcdf- is just the reverse of 
-relrank-.)

The two programs may be helpful, for example, in the
analysis of income inequality and wage differentials.
