Comments

TOPIC AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES This seminar has the objective to provide a practical introduction to the application of the software package STATA. At the end of the seminar, students should be able to conduct basic statistical analyses. The topics taught in this course include: 1. data management (dataset and variable modification), 2. the documentation of analyses (do-files, log-files), 3. univariate distributions, 4. correlation and regression, 5. factor analysis, and 6. the construction of graphs. The focus of this course is hands-on work with STATA. The aim is not to explain statistical methods in detail. Basic knowledge of the aforementioned methods is beneficial. ORGANISATION OF THE COURSE The seminar will be held as a 6-day course during the first three weeks of the semester and is designed for first year master students. Advanced students may attend as well in order to expand their methodological tool box. The lessons will take place in the computer lab and contain many practical exercises.
