The fifth German Stata Users Group meeting will be held at the RWI Essen
(Rheinisch Westfälisches Institut,
http://www.rwi-essen.de) on
Monday, April 2, 2007. Anyone interested in Stata is invited to attend.
The meeting will feature user presentations on a broad range of topics,
such as Stata programming, data management, graphics, and statistical
analysis. Topics include
- user-written Stata programs,
- case studies of research or teaching using Stata,
- discussions of data management problems,
- reviews of analytical issues, and
- surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields.
The conference language will be English because of the international
nature of the meeting and the participation of non-German guest
speakers.
