Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using Stata

by Brian S. Everitt, Sophia Rabe-Hesketh

The powerful statistical software Stata has streamlined data analysis, interpretation, and presentation for researchers and statisticians around the world. But because of its power and plethora of features, particularly in version 8, Stata manuals are usually quite extensive and detailed.

The third edition of the Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using Stata describes the features of Stata version 8 in the same concise, convenient format that made the previous editions so popular. But the revisions updating the handbook to version 8 are not all this edition has to the authors also added important material in three all-new chapters and focused more attention on Stata's improved graphical features.

More Highlights of the Third Edition

Ö Updates in all chapters that reflect the features of Stata 8
Ö A new chapter on random effects models
Ö A new chapter on generalized estimating equations
Ö A new chapter on cluster analysis
Ö Increased emphasis on diagnostics

Each chapter deals with a particular data set, identifies the appropriate analysis for it, and while it includes a brief account of the statistical background of the technique applied, the primary focus remains firmly on using Stata 8 and interpreting its results. Ideal for researchers, statisticians, and students alike, this handbook forms a perfect complement to the Stata manuals, by giving new users a head start on using the program and providing experienced users with a handy quick reference.
