SHORT TOC


Review:

Excellent way to learn Stata

The book is arranged as a tutorial introduction to Stata, explaining the statistics and how to implement these in Stata.
It is well-crafted, showing different approaches where tasks are repeated tasks in different chapters and increasing in complexity and adding new twists and features as you go through.
I was new to Stata and read the Getting Started Manual and then this. It was an excellent way to get comfortable in the new environment.
Don't expect to learn a lot of statistics, but it illustrates a way of thinking about statistics that runs with the grain of the package.
This relates to the 3rd edition of the book that has been updated for Stata version 8.
