It sounds as if you just keep going, using the principle that sum of
(everything - somethings) = sum(everything) - sum(somethings).

Stata Chris
I would like to compute the following in Stata:
Sum over all n of: Sum over all m unequal n of:
(D_nt - p)*(D_mt - p),
where m, n, t are subindices.
If it was with only a single sum and without the unequal condition, I
would just have used sth like this:
bysort m n t: gen factor1 = (D_nt - p)
bysort m n t: gen factor2 = (D_mt - p)
bysort t: egen result = sum(factor1*factor2)
But I'm not sure how to get the product for each element n with each
other element from the same set except itself.
Should I do this with a loop or sth?
