Stata is a useful and powerful statistical programming package widely used across a variety of disciplines. This workshop is aimed at users new to Stata and will introduce the main windows in the Stata environment, the basic Stata command syntax, and the use of do-files to set up and save commands and procedures. We will focus primarily on data management and manipulation -- Importing data, defining variables and attributes, generating and recoding variables, sorting and checking data, and some basic summary and descriptive analyses. If time permits, we’ll talk about generating graphics in Stata. The workshop is designed to help you become comfortable working in Stata so that you can begin to learn new applications on your own.
