Standard deviations are influenced by systematic factors and randomness
The deleterious effects of random measurement error are well known, and many statistical packages contain provisions for correcting correlation coefficients, so these corrected correlations can be used in complex path analyses and structural equation analyses, thereby increasing their accuracy (Skrondal and Rabe-Hesketh, 2004)
Summary
Edited by: Jeremy Miles, Research and Development Corporation, USA Reviewed by: Thom Baguley, Nottingham Trent University, UK Emil N. Standard deviations are influenced by systematic factors and randomness. I propose that researchers should report “corrected” or “true” standard deviations and I show how to calculate them.
