    Can you please help me to calculate the standard deviation of the moving average of the last 4 years of ebitda, in an 18-year data panel?

    This can be easily done using asrol. Let’s assume that your panel identifier is id and time identifier is year. The asrol code you would use is given below.

    bysort id : asrol ebitda, gen(sd_ebitda) stat(sd) window(year 4) min(4)

    The min(4) option ensures that at least 4 observations are available for the calculation of the standard deviation.

    Hello! now i need to calculate only the moving average of the last 4 years of the ebitda value, in an 18-year data panel. Can you help me please?

    The code is the same as used in my earlier reply. That calculates the moving average of the last 4 years. If you want to exclude the current year, then the code would be:

    bysort id : asrol ebitda, gen(sd_ebitda) stat(sd) window(year 5) min(4) xf(focal)

    thank you for your reply. Maybe I didn’t ask the right question. In my panel what I need now is the average of the absolute value of the ebitda, for the same period. I need to build a variable with:
    = sd_ebitda / ma_ebitda
