Univariate analysis

[Amina Bousnina]

Hello,

So I want to apply this univariate test, subdividing my sample into high and low groups by the mean values of independent variables to report the differences in the dependent variable.

My question's How to subdivide a sample using such condition and what is the command in STATA to do so and apply the test.

My literature reference is Thanatawee, Y. (2019). ‘Foreign Institutional Ownership and Liquidity: Evidence from Thailand’. ABAC Journal, Vol.39, No.4, Forthcoming. pp. 1-21.

Thank you!

Hi Amina,

If you mean the test in Table 3 of the paper, then you should use the ttest command in Stata with the by(group) option; note nonetheless that the t-test has some assumptions that you should check to properly rely on the results, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t-test
