Data Analysis Using Stata provides a comprehensive introduction to Stata with an emphasis on data management, linear regression, logistic modeling, and using programs to automate repetitive tasks. Throughout the book, the authors make extensive use of examples using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel, a large survey of households containing demographic, income, employment, and other key information. The book begins with an introduction to the Stata interface and then proceeds with a discussion of Stata syntax and simple programming tools like foreach loops. The core of the book includes chapters on producing tables and graphs, performing linear regression, and using logistic regression. The remainder of the book includes chapters on reading text files, writing programs and ado-files, and Internet resources, such as the search command and the SSC archive. All key concepts are illustrated with multiple examples.Data Analysis Using Stata will serve as a valuable introduction to Stata, both for those who are new to statistics and statistical computing as well as for those new to Stata but familiar with other programs.
