STATA TRAINING COURSE

The aim of this course is to teach regular Stata users skills to get the most out of Stata and speed up their work. In addition to analytical commands, Stata also has powerful commands for manipulating data, and for extracting, formatting and exporting results. Ordinary Stata use can often be streamlined and automated using Stata’s programming commands and it is straightforward to develop and add new commands to Stata.

This course is aimed at researchers and other professionals, from any discipline, who want to learn how to work more efficiently with Stata. It would be particularly suited to those who are about to embark on large analyses. We teach you how to reduce the time and code needed for data preparation and analysis, and to generate bespoke, reproducible and well-presented results.

Who should attend?

The course is designed for people who are already experienced using Stata for data analysis and want to become more efficient. As a minimum, you should be able to use Stata for an analysis of some sort (linear regression, for example) generate, recode and label variables, and be comfortable writing comprehensive do files. If you are already familiar with the merge, collapse, reshape and append commands, have used foreach or forvalues loops and can understand a simple Stata program, then this course may be too basic for you. If, on the other hand, none of that sounds familiar, then this could be exactly what you need!
