Description
Statistics Using Stata uses a highly accessible and lively writing style to seamlessly integrate the learning of the latest version of Stata (17) with an introduction to applied statistics using real data in the behavioral, social, and health sciences. The text is comprehensive in its content coverage and is suitable at undergraduate and graduate levels. It requires knowledge of basic algebra, but no prior coding experience. It is uniquely focused on the importance of data management as an underlying and key principle of data analysis. It includes a .do-file for each chapter, that was used to generate all figures, tables, and analyses for that chapter. These files are intended as models to be adapted and used by readers in conducting their own research. Additional teaching and learning aids include solutions to all end-of-chapter exercises and PowerPoint slides to highlight the important take-aways of each chapter.
Reviews / Votes
'Statistics Using Stata is an engaging and accessible introduction to the practice of statistics. Readers will benefit from the book's clear, step-by-step illustrations of statistical techniques and superb sample exercises, which use data and applications often encountered in the real world. Before they know it, users of this text will be confidently using Stata to analyze and interpret their own data.' Sean P. Corcoran, Vanderbilt University, USA 'This textbook has been extremely helpful in introducing students to issues in research design, instrument development, and data analysis. Every topic is explained clearly, with examples and code, making the preparation of lectures and recitation easier for me and my teaching assistants, and allowing students to review the material independently.' Alejandro Ganimian, New York University, USA 'Statistics Using Stata is a great intro stats text that assumes a minimal math background, provides good coverage of foundational topics, and has a lot of examples (code and data) to work through in Stata. I especially like the new chapter on public-use data sources. Great for teachers!' Peter F. Halpin, University of North Carolina, USAMore details
