An Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis Using StataA(R): From Research Design to Final Report provides a step-by-step introduction for statistics, data analysis, or research methods classes using Stata software. Concise descriptions emphasize the concepts behind statistics rather than the derivations of the formulas. With real-world examples from a variety of disciplines and extensive detail on the commands in Stata, this text provides an integrated approach to statistical analysis, research design, and report writing for social science students.
