MOMENTSETS: Stata module for moment-based measures collected as datasets

Nicholas Cox

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: momentsets computes moment-based measures and collects them into datasets. It is a wrapper for summarize. Typically the user will specify one or more of the options mean, sd, var, skewness or kurtosis. There are two syntaxes, for variables and for groups of observations. momentsets by default lists its results. Although saving to a permanent dataset is optional, that is the intended key to many useful applications, graphical and otherwise.
