ISSR Methodology Workshop | A Crash Course to STATA
Instructor: Reyna Orellana
Took STATA once in a Stats class and forgot how to do it later? Does your advisor and/ or collaborators use STATA? Or do you just want to get a back-to-basics analysis in STATA. If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, this workshop is for you.
In this two- hour workshop, we will revisit the basics of the STATA environment the various ways we can manage our data. You will learn how to open a dataset, obtain descriptive statistics, and how to obtain help to use STATA on your own after the workshop.
This introduction to STATA is perfect for users who’ve opened STATA a few times and want to improve their STATA coding skills. However, no prior experience is expected.
Learning Objectives:
- Navigate the STATA environment
- Use STATA DO-files
- Import data from Excel or CSV
- Run basic descriptive stats
- Run a simple regression (if time permits)
Pre-Requisites/ Notes:
- No prior experience with Stata required.
- If using your own laptop, please make sure Stata is installed and can be opened prior to the workshop. Stata is available on most library computers, and you may be able to borrow a laptop with it installed from the library as well - please look into the options before the workshop.
- The workshop uses STATA for PC, STATA for Mac is almost exactly the same, but we will go over differences if needed.
