To compare Spearman correlation coefficients, you probably have to use
the bootstrap (using the -bootstrap- prefix) or the jackknife (using the
-jackknife- prefix). However, to compare the Kendall tau-a correlation
coefficient between X and Z and the Kendall tau-a coefficient between Y
and Z, you can use the -somersd- package, downloadable from SSC,
together with -lincom-. As in:
somersd z x y, taua transf(z) tdist
lincom (x-y)/2
The -somersd- package is distributed with a suite of .pdf manuals, which
explain the methods in more detail. The on-line help contains references
for Stata Journal articles, which can be downloaded from the Stata
Journal website at
http://www.stata-journal.com/archives.html
I hope this helps.
Best wishes

Dear Stata-List,
does anyone know how I compare to correlation coefficients (spearman)
from one sample?
The thing is, that I would like to measure the relationship between lets
say x and z and y and z. After that I would like to test whether this
relationship between both differs significantly. Another way to do this
might be, to ran two similar regression models (reg x z and reg y z) and
compare the two b[z] of both models. Does anyone know how to do this in
Stata?
Kind Regards,
Rainer
