How to get chisquare value for Jarque Bera Test

[Saher Malik]

hello,

i have two questions;

Question: 1

When i try to run Jarque Bera Test I used this command

jb ln_mCij

Then the results i got are :

Jarque-Bera normality test: 5.8e+06 Chi(2) 0
Jarque-Bera test for Ho: normality:

I also also used the code

display "Jarque-Bera Statistic = " jb, then i get
Jarque-Bera Statistic = 5756484.2

• Actually I want to know how to get the chisquare value, that i can predict whether it is normally distributed or not.
• How can i see the results of all variables in one table form

Question 2.

To get descriptive statistics, I used the code

univar Manuf Public ln_mCij ln_wCij ln_Oi ln_Dj ln_HouseP HigherE

This gives the mean, standard.D, maximum minimum. I also want the values of median. how i can add in it

jb is a program from SSC, as you are asked to explain.

The Jarque-Bera test is an awful, awful test, based on using asymptotic standard errors for statistics which converge very, very slowly as sample size increases. That's a bad idea.

If you must use such a test, consider e.g. Doornik-Hansen test from mvtest normality

On the other question, use tabstat

Thank you so much. It means a lot to me
