Stata is easy to use
- Stata has a topical index built into the online help system.
- Stata has an easy-to-use point-and-click
interface providing access to its commands.
- Stata also has a simple, consistent command syntax.
- Here’s how you do an OLS regression using a command:
. regress mvalue gender age income educ1-educ6
You can also do an OLS regression using a dialog box.
- Most commands have the same syntax, whether the command fits a model,
produces descriptive statistics, or performs a data-management task:
. summarize age income . tabulate age . logit outcome gender status exp if age>29 . scatter income educ if state=="Texas" . drop if age <= 29 . by gender: tabulate case exposure . by agegrp: summarize income yrswk
All of these operations can also be performed using dialog boxes.
