SUMMARY:Center for Statistical Training & Consulting Workshop: STATA Intro & Basic Data Analysis
DESCRIPTION:
 This workshop, presented by Dr. Tenko Raykov, 
 provides an introduction to the increasingly 
 popular statistical software STATA in the medical, 
 social, and behavioral sciences.  A number 
 of software facilities for data management 
 are initially discussed and illustrated on 
 empirical data.  Some relatively simple statistical 
 analyses are then dealt with, incl. optimal 
 search for variable transformation to near 
 normality, frequency tables, analysis of 
 variance, which are similarly exemplified with 
 the use of data from several studies.  The 
 widely used multiple regression analysis is then 
 focused on and illustrated on empirical data. 
  The workshop is built on demonstration 
 of each discussed command and associated output 
 is thoroughly discussed.  The goal of the 
 workshop is to motivate its attendees to consider 
 using STATA in their own research as a highly 
 versatile modern statistical software that 
 offers rich statistical output information 
 at the cost of short and intuitive commands.
