Standard error of the absolute difference

Hi!

There is an additional feature I am trying to get - the standard error of the difference in means (reported below the diff or in a separate column - at least somewhere). I haven't been able to figure out how to do via either the "save" or "browse" output, I hope you could help!

Thanks to your previous help, I was able to fully automate the creation of this table (lengthy code, but still):

Now, what I need to add is a standard error below the difference - I'm sure I can figure out how to add it below, but I can't find a way to get iebaltab to output it at all.

Here's what I'm hoping to get (I added an arbitrary number):

P.S. The question had been asked on STATA list in the past too (not by me, but came up in the search), if there's an answer, might be worth linking it there: https://www.statalist.org/forums/forum/general-stata-discussion/general/1635359-iebaltab-add-standard-error-of-difference

Thanks for your feedback, @idagri . That's something we have talked about and are planning to implement. We have just rewritten this command to make this type of changes easier. You will be notified through this thread once this is done.

Hi @luizaandrade! Any updates? :)
I've just been trying to implement the calculations manually, but it made the code long and slow, so I was wondering if I might be able to clean it up with your update :)
