2009 Australian and New Zealand Stata Users Group meeting
Announcement
The first Australian and New Zealand Stata Users Group (ANZSUG) meeting was a big
success when it was held in Adelaide in 2004. The second was held in
Melbourne in September 2006. Now the third Stata Users Group meeting will be
held in Sydney. Stata users from all disciplines are invited to attend.
Beginners, experts, and anyone in between are welcome.
The aim is to bring together a wide range of users to discuss statistical
analysis, data management, and graphics using Stata. Speakers are encouraged
to present their experiences with the package, whether using standard
commands, writing new programs, or exploiting the graphics facilities.
This meeting involves structured thematic sessions on novel usage of Stata
for analysis of biostatistics, econometric, psychological data, etc. Stata
developers from the United States will host a “Wishes and
grumbles” session. Attending will be Roberto G. Gutierrez,
StataCorp’s director of statistics, and
Alan Riley, StataCorp’s vice president of software development.
Also, there will be two workshops on additional days for an additional cost:
- Analyzing complex survey data using Stata (November 4, 2009)
- Introduction to Stata programming and Mata matters (November 6, 2009)
