How to derive standard deviation from standard error

Algorithm:

SD=Standard error * sqrt(N);

 

Reference:

http://handbook.cochrane.org/chapter_7/7_7_3_2_obtaining_standard_deviations_from_standard_errors_and.htm

 

QC: I checked the algorithm using SAS.  The result was consistent with the algorithm (i.e., SD=standard error*sqrt(N)).

proc means data=sashelp.class mean std stderr n;
var height;
run;
