UID:{http://www.columbasystems.com/customers/uom/gpp/eventid/}z2h-k2c0s9n

DESCRIPTION:The course provides introductory training in Stata\, a statis
 tical package increasingly used for social research data analysis which 
 has powerful data manipulation procedures and extensive and powerful sta
 tistical capabilities.\n\nObjectives\n\nThe aim of the course is to fami
 liarise participants with the basic features of Stata 14. On completing 
 the course\, participants will have covered the following through a comb
 ination of presentation and practical sessions:\n\nThe STATA environment
 : Opening and exploring files\, looking at labels\, editing and entering
  data.\nExploratory analysis: logging outputs\, producing tables\, subse
 tting and descriptive statistics.\nData manipulation: computing new vari
 ables\, recoding\, keeping and dropping\, saving commands in a .do file.
 \nSTATA graphics\, help and support resources.\n On completion of the co
 urse\, participants will have the necessary familiarity with Stata to mo
 ve on to further Stata courses and/or continue learning themselves \n\nP
 rerequisites\n\nNo previous experience with Stata or statistical analyse
 s is required for the course\, as it will introduce participants to the 
 very basics of using Stata. However\, familiarity with\, and some experi
 ence of\, handling datasets (e.g. Excel spreadsheets) would be beneficia
 l for understanding the basics of data management and analysis in Stata.
 \n\nSuitable for\n\nThe course is intended for anyone who hopes to use S
 tata as a regular tool in their work. This can be to help manage data\, 
 especially large data sets\, and as a statistical analysis tool\, from b
 asic analysis to complex modelling.\n\nThis course is therefore suitable
  for anyone who hopes to use Stata as a day-to-day tool in their work.\n
 \nThe course is designed for new users of survey data and does not presu
 me any previous knowledge or experience working with quantitative method
 s. However\, Stata is especially useful for the analysis of complex surv
 eys and longitudinal data analysis. Therefore\, individuals interested i
 n analysing complex surveys or applying longitudinal data analysis in St
 ata would find this particularly useful if they have no prior experience
  of Stata.
