You have been already answered by Scot on your similar post with a
different title. What would you need to know beside Scot's following
response:
webuse grunfeld,clear
qui xtreg invest kst, fe
predict double e, e
gen double e2 = e^2
sum e2
disp sqrt(r(sum)/(e(N) - e(N_g) - 2 + 1 ))
qui xtreg invest kst, fe,
disp e(rmse)
So I think that is what your question needed in response. Cheers Scot.
Good Way
