Center for Statistical Training & Consulting Workshop: STATA Intro & Basic Data Analysis
(Conferences / Seminars / Lectures) 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.
