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):
