Line 3: Line 3:
Suppose we have each of K people (or groups) which we wish to pool each with variances, V_${k}$ and mean m$_{k}$ based on a sample of size n_${k}$. Suppose we wish to pool over each of K people (or groups) with the k-th individual having variance V(k) and mean m(k) based on a sample of size n(k).
Line 5: Line 5:
$$
Pooled Variance V = \frac{\Sum_{k}(n_{k}-1)V_{k}}{\Sum_{k}(n_{k}-1)}
$$
Then pooling the K variances we have
Line 9: Line 7:
$$
Pooled Mean Standard Error = \Sqrt{V / \sum_{k}n_{k}}
Pooled Variance V = [sum k to K (n(k)-1) V(k)] / [sum_k to K (n(k) -1)]

and we can use this pooled variance to obtain the standard error of the mean since

Pooled Mean Standard Error = \sqrt{ [V] / [sum_k to K n(k) ] $$

How do I obtain a pooled mean standard error?
