ISSR Methodology Workshop | An Introduction to STATA
Instructor: Onupurba Das
This introduction to STATA is perfect for users who’ve opened STATA a few times and want to improve their STATA coding skills. We’ll dive into the STATA environment, work with do-files, and explore key commands for importing, organizing, and analyzing data. You’ll get hands-on experience with provided files, and by the end, you’ll feel confident running basic statistical analyses and simple regressions on your own projects.
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.
