Dear colleagues,
I have four lists of efficiency scores, which allow to order several individuals according to their performance in different sectors.
I need to test if these rank-distributions are similar.

I wonder, is there any test that would help me to do this in just one test ?
Alvaro has not specified which rank distributions are to be compared with which other rank distributions, or what question exactly is being asked. However, the -somersd- package, downloadable from SSC, produces confidence limits for a wide range of rank statistics, and probably can do whatever Alvaro actually wants to do. It comes with a .pdf manual which explains the principles behind these statistics.

I hope this helps.

Roger
