Abstract: Partgam calculates the partial gamma coefficient, which is a weighted summary version of gamma across subtables of the Goodman & Kruskal's gamma coefficient. A test of homogeneity of stratified gamma's is applied, together with a test for comparison of the stratified gamma with a common reference. Partgam is relevant for overall and stratified (conditional) analysis of two variables which are of type ^ordinal^. If called without any adjust variables, the procedure will show the gamma with confidence intervals for the overall table.
