Using Stata for Quantitative Analysis

by Kyle C. Longest

Using Stata for Quantitative Analysis , Second Edition offers a brief, but thorough introduction to analyzing data with Stata software. It can be used as a reference for any statistics or methods course across the social, behavioral, and health sciences since these fields share a relatively similar approach to quantitative analysis. In this book, author Kyle Longest teaches the language of Stata from an intuitive perspective, furthering students' overall retention and allowing a student with no experience in statistical software to work with data in a very short amount of time. The self-teaching style of this book enables novice Stata users to complete a basic quantitative research project from start to finish. The Second Edition covers the use of Stata 13 and can be used on its own or as a supplement to a research methods or statistics textbook.

I read this book, in that I decoded the words page by page. How much I understood or learned is more questionable. The author does provide some helpful examples, walking the reader through processes you might take for data management.
