Gamma for ordinal trends

Dear list,

Are there any functions for calculating gamma (and its standard
error), which measures the association of ordinal factors in I x J
contingency table. I did a RSiteSearch but did not find any clues...

You have to look for Goodman-Kruskal gamma.  It is a bit
obscure.  It is rcorr.cens in the Hmisc package.

The significance test is the same as for Kendall's tau, according 
to some books.  I don't know about standard error.
