Abstract: A method is presented for comparing the strength of agreement of a group rankings with an external ordering to the corresponding measure of concordance within the group. While the procedure is not model dependent, we illustrate the characteristics of interest using an existing model for a nonnull distribution for a population of rankings. U-statistics and a jackknife with adjusted degrees of freedom are employed to set approximate confidence intervals on the contrast between the two measures of rank order agreement.
