Website with lots of resources for learning Stata

[Jennifer Earl]

Hi folks,

I taught a graduate seminar on data management in Stata last semester and as part of the work for the course, students had to produce resources for a website that would allow others to learn about Stata. The website is located at: http://jearl.faculty.arizona.edu/node/19

It ranges from very basic concepts (e.g., data types), to intermediate data manipulations (using stored and returned results; regular expressions; collapse), to intermediate-advanced programming (e.g., define program, post, lots of stuff on looping).

If not helpful to you, it might be helpful to someone you know learning Stata. Feel free to share the link as widely as you see fit. And, if you have suggests about material to add, please send me an email with either links or the material.

Cheers,

Jenn

Highly appreciated

This is indeed very helpful. It would be great if you could post the course outline, listing texts, or did I miss it?. I assume the Long reference is Scott Long's Workflow of Data Analysis Using Stata.

Thanks Jennifer. I suggest you write to Stata and suggest they add your page to http://www.stata.com/links/resources...earning-stata/. While many other resources are there, it seems like you have a heavy emphasis on data management that others do not have. Consider giving your page a more explicit name, such as "Stata Resources for Programming and Data Management" so it stands out from other resources available.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Dick, you are correct on the book: Scott Long's Workflow of Data Analysis Using Stata. I also used Newton and Cox's Seventy-Six Stata Tips. Those are the only readings below without hotlinks. The webpage is organized according to the original syllabus-- the table on the website contains the topics, readings, and course presentation files created for each course day--each row was a separate course day. All readings should have hotlinks that worked at the time of the course (sorry if they break over time as people move their stuff around). Email me if something is broken and I can see if I have an archive copy.
Richard, thanks for the suggestion re: emailing Stata. Will do!

For those interested, note that there is now "One hundred nineteen Stata Tips": see http://www.stata.com/bookstore/stata-tips/index.html

(In English, that would be "one hundred and nineteen".)
