Course description
Stata is a powerful and versatile statistical analysis software. It is an ideal tool to do basic as well as advanced statistical analyses.
This two days course is intended for beginners. Note that this course is specifically about using Stata rather than explaining statistical concepts or methods.
The course aims at giving you an introduction to using Stata. You will use it for data-management and simple descriptive and statistical analyses of data. The first day you will learn the basic features of Stata, finding your way around, executing simple commands, writing script files for re-usage of Stata code. The second day you will learn about the data-management tools of Stata and you will get the opportunity to receive help resolving Stata related problems with your own data.
We emphasize that you will spend most of the time working on your own on provided material. However, each module will be preceded by a short lecture to give you the necessary overview.
