This course will be covered over two days (10/5/2026 and 10/7/2026). Attendance is required as it is out policy to not record our short courses.
This course introduces students to Stata and data management. It is tailored for non-users who want to learn how to manage data more effectively. Each day, the class will demonstrate how to use the commands, followed by hands-on exercises using sample datasets. By the end of the course, participants will be able to perform the following:
• Use Stata’s Graphical User Interference (GUI) with dialog boxes • Run Stata commands from the command window and from scripts (“do” files) • Enter, transfer, and save data in different formats, e.g., Excel, SAS, SPSS, text files • Inspect the contents of a Stata dataset • Append, merge, and sort datasets • Identify and clean duplicate records • Calculate new variables • Create and manage labels for variables and values • Recode variables • Work with blocks of observations (“by” processing) • Perform row-wise calculations (groups of columns) • Collapse data into summary tables • Reshape between long and wide formats • Save and reproduce your work with “do” files • Obtain descriptive statistics • Create graphs and tables • Run basic statistical analyses, e.g., Ordinary Least Squares regression, correlation matrices, Chi-square tests, t-tests
