OLD Stata Class Notes
For the most recent version,  see http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/notes2/

About the Class Notes

Class notes are the scripts that are followed during the classes in Stata. Typically, they are projected on the screen in the front of the class. Students also received printed copies of the class notes so that they can try the commands at a later time. The Stata class notes do not contain any of the computer output. The class notes are not meant to be a Stata textbook or a reference manual. However, it is possible for individuals to use the class notes to help in learning Stata even if they don't enroll in the classes.

Data Files for the Class

You can download the datasets used in the Stata 1 & 2 Classes directly into Stata over the Internet. Use the following commands:

You can also download the data files for the Stata, SAS, and SPSS classes as a Winzip file by clicking on cldata.zip

The Stata 1 Class

Stata is a powerful and yet easy to use statistical package that runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Unix platforms. This two-hour class designed for people who are just getting started using Stata. The class will involve demonstration of Stata commands for statistics, graphics, and data management. Students will also get a chance to try out Stata during the hands-on portions of the class.

About the Stata 2 Class

The Stata 2 Class is meant for students who have taken the Stata 1 Class or who have the equivalent knowledge. The Stata 2 Class is more concerned with computer and data management commands than with the statistical procedures. The two-hour class will combine demonstration and explanation along with hands-on practice.
