  • Calculating standardized differences for comparisons between groups

    I'm working with a very large dataset (NCDB), given the number of observations using chi2 to compare baseline group characteristics almost always renders "significant" differences among groups, even if the actual difference is very small.

    I want to use standardized differences to compare both categorical and continuous variables for my "Table 1".

    Is there a (easy) way to do this in STATA?


    And example is this paper:

    The method is described:

    there is some ability in the "te" material; go to te.pdf and search; in addition there are at least 2 user-written commands for this: covbal and pbalchk; use -search- or -findit- to locate and download
