{title:Description}

{p}If you have not read help for {help xtsum}, please do so now.

{p}{cmd:xtsumcorr} is an augmented version of {cmd:xtsum} that
computes corrected version of within-panel and between-panel standard
deviations.  

{p} The within-panel standard deviation is the same as that in
{cmd:xtsum}, except that the divisor is (N - sum T_i) instead of (N -
1), where N is the total sample size and T_i is the within-panel
sample size. This estimator is unbiased for the within-panel variance
and is analagous to that reported in {cmd:xtreg , fe}.  The
between-panel standard deviation is computed as the square root of the
overall variance minus the within-panel variance.
