About the Book

Providing the basic collection of statistical procedures used by social scientists, A Gentle Introduction to Stata, Second Edition presents the fundamental tools to learn Stata. The book begins with showing how to enter and manage data as well as perform basic descriptive statistics and graphical analysis. It then examines standard statistical procedures from a t test, nonparametric tests, measures of association, multiple regression, and logical regression. The book ends with guidelines for future work and advanced topics.
