Hello STATA,
First of all, my initial guess is that the computed standard deviation in
STATA does not correct for possible biases. However I am not sure as I
havent found any good documentation on this issue. My questions are:
1. Does anybody know whether the standard deviations, computed with the
command summarize, are unbiased?
2. If so, how can I correct for this?
Thank you.
Daniel
