About this title

Synopsis

This book provides a short but comprehensive introduction to the statistical software in Stata 12. It is meant to be read while sitting in front of a computer running Stata, and comes with a CD-ROM containing a variety of datasets which are used to illustrate the different Stata commands. Although written with biostatisticians in mind, much of the material is equally relevant to other disciplines. Topics covered include basic commands, dialog boxes, housekeeping, data input, graphics, data management, regression models, testing hypotheses, survival data, competing risks, and meta analysis. There are many exercises, and solutions are provided by program rather than printed as part of the book.
