NEW - Advanced Stata: Data Handling and Programming Tools to Make Your Research Life Easier - Online via Teams

[2 half days] - [starts on 16-02-2022 at 09:30] - [English] - [Formation online]

Come and learn Stata ! An easy software used a lot by economists and epidemiologists for their data management and analyses

Stata is a very complete statistical software that is used in various fields: economics, sociology, epidemiology etc. It offers many classical and advanced functions: robust estimation methods, survival analysis, time series analysis, epidemiology tables etc. Moreover, it is possible to adapt existing functions or create new ones and share them with the community of Stata users that offers assistance and a lot of resources.

Training aims
The aim of this course is to teach regular Stata users advanced skills to get the most out of Stata and speed up their work. In addition to analytical commands (reg, anova…), Stata 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. 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 statistical results.

Prerequisites
This training requires a basic knowledge of statistics and is designed people who are already experienced using Stata. As a minimum, you should be able to use Stata for a STATISTICAL analysis of some sort (e.g. linear regression) generate variables, and be comfortable writing do files. If you have already made extensive use of [foreach] or [forvalues] loops, macros and extended macros, can write a Stata programme and know how to make complex graph and publication-ready Latex tables, then this course may be too basic for you. By registering for this training, you commit to a level of knowledge equivalent to the following training(s):

Formation online : Online Training via Teams -
Our trainer will contact you by e-mail before the beginning of the training session to send you the connection link and any useful documents.

Here is some additional information that we ask you to read now: If you haven’t done it yet, please download the Teams application (Here is the link to download Teams). For example, this will allow you to be able to share your screen with the trainer if you get stuck during an exercise.

If the training involves the use of data analysis software, you should preferably have this software on your computer in order to take full advantage of the training. For UCLouvain members, you can find out about the availability of the tool from the IT department via the service catalogue (https://servicedesk.uclouvain.be -> SelfService -> Catalogue de service). Depending on the software, a solution may possibly be found if you are unable to get the software installed on your computer. However, this is not the most comfortable way to participate in the training. And we must also anticipate this. So please let us know if this is what you intend to do.
