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.
