The first Australian and New Zealand Stata Users Group (ANZSUG) meeting was
a big success in Adelaide in 2004. We will hold the second ANZSUG in
Melbourne in September 2006. Stata users from all disciplines and
experience levels are invited to attend.
The meeting's goal is to bring together a wide range of users to discuss
statistical analysis, data management, and graphics using Stata. We
encourage speakers to present their experiences with the package, whether
using standard commands, writing new programs, or exploiting the graphics
facilities.
There will be a 1-day workshop on mixed models in Stata the day after the
second ANZSUG. The workshop will be a hands-on opportunity to learn about
mixed models (often called random-effects models) and their implementation
in Stata. The application of these models includes variance-components
analysis, longitudinal (panel) data analysis, and hierarchical
(multilevel) regression. The workshop will focus on continuous-scale
dependent variables but will also cover categorical dependent variables.
