Stata is one of the most popular statistical software in the world
and suited for all kinds of users, from absolute beginners to
experienced veterans. This book offers a clear and concise
introduction to the usage and the workflow of Stata. Included
topics are importing and managing datasets, cleaning and preparing
data, creating and manipulating variables, producing descriptive
statistics and meaningful graphs as well as central quantitative
methods, like linear (OLS) and binary logistic regressions and
matching. Additional information about diagnostical tests ensures
that these methods yield valid and correct results that live up to
academic standards. Furthermore, users are instructed how to export
results that can be directly used in popular software like
Microsoft Word for seminar papers and publications. Lastly, the
book offers a short yet focussed introduction to scientific
writing, which should guide readers through the process of writing
a first quantitative seminar paper or research report. The book
underlines correct usage of the software and a productive workflow
which also introduces aspects like replicability and general
standards for academic writing. While absolute beginners will enjoy
the easy to follow point-and-click interface, more experienced
users will benefit from the information about do-files and syntax
which makes Stata so popular. Lastly, a wide range of
user-contributed software ("Ados") is introduced which further
improves the general workflow and guarantees the availability of
state of the art statistical methods.
