An Introduction to Stata Programming, Second Edition

Produktbeschreibung

In this second edition of An Introduction to Stata Programming, the author introduces concepts by providing the background and importance for the topic, presents common uses and examples, then concludes with larger, more applied examples referred to as "cookbook recipes." This is a great reference for anyone who wants to learn Stata programming. For those learning, the author assumes familiarity with Stata and gradually introduces more advanced programming tools. For the more advanced Stata programmer, the book introduces Stata's Mata programming language and optimization routines.
