Stata and Data

New

This workshop will provide support for students who are working on their own projects, and who need a little extra help with their data analysis. Bring your data along to this session (bearing in mind considerations of data security) and our demonstrators will do their best to help you with:

• Getting your data into shape
• Writing and documenting syntax files
• De-bugging syntax that doesn't work
• Understanding your output
• Your next steps, including choosing appropriate analytical techniques

• Basic statistics training, at least up to the level of BQA.
• Familiarity with Stata.
• An understanding of data security. Please bear in mind, when bringing your data to the workshop, any restrictions on the use of data (are they suitably anonymised? are you allowed to carry the data in portable format? do you need to encrypt your portable device?). Even when you have not agreed to any restrictions, you should routinely anonymise data collected from respondents, and it's a good idea to encrypt a portable storage device on which you are storing data.

This is a two-hour lab session in which students will receive hands-on help with their data. Students need not stay for the whole session.

This is a workshop, not a taught course. If your department requires you to take a certain number of SSRMC modules as part of your degree course, this session will not count against that number.
