The aim of this seminar is to
help you increase your skills in using regression analysis with Stata. The
seminar does not teach regression, per se, but focuses on how to perform
regression analyses using Stata. It is assumed that you have had at least a one
quarter/semester course in regression (linear models) or a general statistical
methods course that covers simple and multiple regression and have access to a
regression textbook that explains the theoretical background of the materials
covered in this seminar. These materials also assume you are familiar with
using Stata, for example that you have taken the
Introduction to Stata class or have equivalent knowledge of Stata.
Below are materials used for teaching this seminar.
