SoSe 18: Introduction to Data Analysis using Stata
Tim Sawert
Comments
This seminar’s objective is to provide an introduction into data analysis using the software Stata. Stata is a powerful and yet easy-to-use statistical package. During the seminar you will be introduced into working with Stata as well as discussing a variety of different analytical techniques.
The seminar consists of five sessions. In the first four sessions (01.06, 08.06, 15.06, 22.06; 14.00 – 19.00) we will discuss different analytical techniques and how to perform them in the Stata environment. Topics of these sessions are data management, working with Do-Files, data manipulation, linear regression analysis, logistic regression analysis, multinomial regression analysis and making publication style tables. Depending on the previous knowledge of the participants, we might be able to cover additional topics.
The fifth session will take place at 06.07 from 10.00 to 16.00. In this session the participants are going to present a data analysis project on which they have worked during the time period of the seminar. As a preparation, it is highly recommended to work through the Chapter 1 to Chapter 3 of the book “Data Analysis Using Stata” by Ulrich Kohler and Frauke Kreuter.
