This second edition of Data Management Using Stata focuses on tasks
that bridge the gap between raw data and statistical analysis. It
has been updated throughout to reflect new data management features
that have been added over the last 10 years. Such features include
the ability to read and write a wide variety of file formats, the
ability to write highly customized Excel files, the ability to have
multiple Stata datasets open at once, and the ability to store and
manipulate string variables stored as Unicode. Further, this new
edition includes a new chapter illustrating how to write Stata
programs for solving data management tasks. As in the original
edition, the chapters are organized by data management areas:
reading and writing datasets, cleaning data, labeling datasets,
creating variables, combining datasets, processing observations
across subgroups, changing the shape of datasets, and programming
for data management. Within each chapter, each section is a
self-contained lesson illustrating a particular data management
task (for instance, creating date variables or automating error
checking) via examples. This modular design allows you to quickly
identify and implement the most common data management tasks
without having to read background information first. In addition to
the "nuts and bolts" examples, author Michael Mitchell alerts users
to common pitfalls (and how to avoid them) and provides strategic
data management advice. This book can be used as a quick reference
for solving problems as they arise or can be read as a means for
learning comprehensive data management skills. New users will
appreciate this book as a valuable way to learn data management,
while experienced users will find this information to be handy and
time saving-there is a good chance that even the experienced user
will learn some new tricks.
