------------------------------------------------------
The course aims to give a more advanced knowledge of STATA 8.0 statistical
software package. By the end of the course, students should understand how
to use STATA much more efficiently through using a greater range of
commands, using looping structures for repetitive code, automatically
formatting and saving output for tables and have the confidence to write
their own programmes.
It is assumed that participants will have attended the Introduction to
STATA course (email [log in to unmask] for details, or visit
http://www.epi.bris.ac.uk/shortc/shortc.htm) or be familiar with the
contents of this course AND have used STATA for at least 6 months. It is
also assumed that participants will have a working knowledge of basic
statistics such as linear regression. However, the course is not focussed
on statistical content, but on data management and programming skills.
Topics covered by the course include: advanced functions and expressions
using egen; how to reshape and create data sets; using system variables and
accessing saved results; different looping structures; introduction to
programming; organising and documenting work; graphing data
