SUMMARY:Center for Statistical Training Consulting Workshop: Introduction to STATA
DESCRIPTION:
 This seminar, presented by Dr. Tenko Raykov, Professor 
 of Measurement and Quantitative Methods 
 in the College of Education, provides an 
 introduction to the increasingly popular statistical 
 software STATA in economics and 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, including 
 optimal search for variable transformation 
 to near normality, frequency tables and 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 from an environmental study.  The 
 workshop is built on empirical illustration 
 of each discussed command, and the associated 
 output is discussed.  The goal of the workshop 
 is to motivate its attendees to consider using 
 STATA in their own research as highly versatile 
 and user-friendly modern statistical 
 software, which offers rich statistical analysis 
 options and output information at the cost 
 of short and intuitive commands. Please visit
