This is a hands-on workshop based in a computer lab aimed at researchers and research students who need to use Stata Software for their research. The computer lab has Windows computers, but the software works on Mac computers in the same way. Participants can bring their own laptops with Stata (version 16 or later) if they wish. Please advise if you are brining your own laptop.
The University of Otago now offers Stata SE to all Staff and Students.
This is an introductory level course, no previous experience with the software is expected. The workshop focuses on the use of Stata software for simple statistical analyses. Underlying statistical concepts are also discussed as necessary even though the course is not intended to teach biostatistics theory.
The course will use an example dataset to cover the following:
- reading data into Stata
- handling numeric and text data.
- data checking for errors, cleaning, manipulating
- commonly used univariate and bivariate descriptive analyses
- simple graphs
- confidence intervals
- basic statistical tests
- simple linear regression
- do-files
The course is limited to 30 people.
