Handling Missing Data Using Multiple Imputation
This course will interactively cover all aspects of multiple-imputation (MI) analysis, including creation of MI data using the multivariate normal and chained-equations (or fully conditional specification) imputation methods, manipulation of MI data, and analysis of MI data. Exercises will supplement the lectures and Stata examples. (detailed description)
Length: 2 days

Multilevel/Mixed Models Using Stata
This course is an introduction to using Stata to fit multilevel/mixed models. The course will be interactive, use real data, offer ample opportunity for specific research questions, and provide exercises to reinforce what you learn. (detailed description)
Length: 2 days

Panel Data Analysis Using Stata
This course provides an introduction to the theory and practice of panel-data analysis. After introducing the fixed-effects and random-effects approaches to unobserved individual-level heterogeneity, the course covers linear models with exogenous covariates, linear models with endogenous variables, dynamic linear models, and some nonlinear models. An introduction to the generalized method of moments estimation technique is also included. Exercises will supplement the lectures and Stata examples. (detailed description)
Length: 2 days

Programming an Estimation Command in Stata
This course shows how to write an estimation command for Stata. No Stata or Mata programming experience is required. This course will provide an introduction to basic Stata do-file programming, basic and advanced ado-file programming, and an introduction to Mata, the byte-compiled matrix language that is part of Stata. Exercises will supplement the lectures and Stata examples. (detailed description)
Length: 2 days

Structural Equation Modeling Using Stata
This course covers the use of Stata for structural equation modeling (SEM). The course introduces a variety of models, including path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, full structural equation models, latent growth curves, and more. Examples demonstrate the sem command as well as the SEM Builder—a graphical interface for building path diagrams that can be used to illustrate, specify, and estimate SEM models. Exercises will supplement the lectures and Stata examples. (detailed description)
Length: 2 days

Survey Data Analysis Using Stata
This course covers how to use Stata for survey data analysis assuming a fixed population. The course covers the sampling methods used to collect survey data and how they affect the estimation of totals, ratios, and regression coefficients as well as Stata’s support for many survey variance estimators, including linearization, balanced and repeated replications (BRR), and jackknife. Exercises will supplement the lectures and Stata examples. (detailed description)
Length: 2 days

Time-Series Analysis Using Stata
This course reviews methods for time-series analysis and shows how to perform the analysis using Stata. Exercises will supplement the lectures and Stata examples. (detailed description)
Length: 2 days

Using Stata Effectively: Data Management, Analysis, and Graphics Fundamentals
Aimed at both new Stata users and those who wish to learn techniques for efficient day-to-day use of Stata, this course enables you to use Stata in a reproducible manner, making collaborative changes and follow-up analyses much simpler. Exercises will supplement the lectures and Stata examples. (detailed description)
Length: 2 days

Computers with Stata installed are provided at all public training sessions. All training courses run from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM each day. A continental breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack will also be provided; the breakfast is available before the course begins. All participants are encouraged to bring a USB flash drive to all public training sessions; this is the safest and simplest way to save your work from the session.
