Changing standard error to standard deviation.

Hi all,

I've done a regression and have the Standard Error of the X co-efficient (i.e. the slope).

How do I change this figure to the standard deviation?

Is the formula

STD DEV = (STD ERROR)/(degrees of freedom)^0.5

Where degrees of freedom = N - number of X coefficients.

?

Thanks.

Actually, I believe the formula is STD ERROR = STD DEV / (n^0.5)

Moreover:

STD DEV = SUM OF SQUARES / ((n-1)^0.5)

I'm reluctant to use the term "degrees of freedom" because this measure doesn't come into play unless a statistical test is involved, and is not the same as the sample size, "n."
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
