Abstract:

This Seminar is the first in a two-part introduction to the STATA statistical software package.

A second session will be planned to provide a hands-on use of STATA with examples. No previous knowledge of STATA or any other statistical software packages is required. Previous programming experience may be helpful, but is not necessary. All are welcome.
