Welcome to the Stata Online Training page at DSS
For those who have not had any experience with STATA before it is recommended
to start from the first topic moving down to the last. Those experienced in
STATA choose your topic.
For questions or help in Stata please contact
DSS staff at data@princeton.edu.
You can also stop by the DSS Lab
located at Firestone Library A-16-H-3 (the lab is now open following
Firestone’s building hours, click
here for details)
The learning philosophy of these pages is that ‘you learn by doing’. It is
based on a couple of projects that require downloading real data from real
sources and work with it using STATA.
Along the way you will experiment with several
basic Stata commands so that by the end you will feel comfortable working with
some other datasets.
The commands presented here are in their basic format. Over time and with
practice you will be able to develop your own shortcuts to make the procedures
work faster. We encourage you to do so.
We will be adding more modules with some other commands and some statistical
procedures like regression analysis.
We hope you find these pages useful. Enjoy.
For general questions regarding data sources, statistics, software or
additional training please contact DSS at data@princeton.edu.
