I am interested in comparing 2 ordinal variables from 2 independent-survey datasets by DISCO. I have the pweight and the strata variable for both datasets.
I believe Kendall’s tau is the best way to assess this using the somersd pkg in Stata 15.1. However, I am unclear as to the steps to follow to conduct this comparison:
I appended the datasets together retaining the original variable names and adding a source (year) variable
Created a variable super_strata
After the above steps is when I’m unsure of the steps to run taua
Here’s my code
I receive the error message no observations
r(2000);
Are any of these steps correct? Would appreciate help for conducting these comparisons
Thank You!

egen int super_strata = group(source q36)
Here’s my code
Code:
svyset [pweight = Final_We], strata(super_strata) drop if DISCO == 0 drop if DISCO == 3 somersd q24a q20a, taua
r(2000);
Are any of these steps correct? Would appreciate help for conducting these comparisons
