Stata Web Books
Regression with Stata: Short Outline
by Xiao Chen, Philip B. Ender, Michael Mitchell & Christine Wells
(in alphabetical order)
The aim of these materials is to help you increase your skills in using regression analysis
with Stata. This web book 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 these chapters. These
materials also assume you are familiar with using Stata, for example that you
have taken the Introduction to Stata workshop or have
equivalent knowledge of Stata.
