Introduction to Stata (Michaelmas)
The course will provide students with an introduction to the popular and powerful statistics package Stata. Stata is commonly used by analysts in both the social and natural sciences, and is the statistics package used most widely by the SSRMC. You will learn:
- How to open and manage a dataset in Stata
- How to recode variables
- How to select a sample for analysis
- The commands needed to perform simple statistical analyses in Stata
- Where to find additional resources to help you as you progress with Stata
The course is intended for students who already have a working knowledge of statistics - it's designed primarily as a "second language" course for students who are already familiar with another package, perhaps R or SPSS. Students who don't already have a working knowledge of applied statistics should look at courses in our Basic Statistics Stream.
- The module requires a basic knowledge of statistics, up to and including the material covered in the SSRMC's Basic Quantitative Analysis module (BQA). These students would generally have used another statistical package, such as R or SPSS.
- Students who don't already have a working knowledge of applied statistics should look at courses in our Basic Statistics Stream.
