Hello,

can anybody help me out please: unfortunately, somehow I dont't get how to
compute Lieberson's Index of net differences, a measure to quantify the
degree of occupational segregation between two groups.

Perhaps some of you can help me out with a hint to a "hands on" guide how to
compute this statistic which is described here:

Lieberson, S. (1976). Rank-Sum Comparisons between Groups, pp. 276-291 in
Sociological Methodology, ed. by D. Heise. San Francisco: Josey Bass.

Many thanks,
Tino
