Webinars

New to Stata? Ready to analyze your data but don’t know where to start? If you are wondering questions like: How do I enter data into Stata? What tools are available for data manipulation and cleansing? How do I create and customize scatter charts, histograms, and other charts? How can I fit a model and graph the results? How do I find resources to learn Stata? then join for the webinar featuring Stata. This one-hour webinar will take you on a tour of Stata, show you how to answer questions like these, and show you how to go even further. I can’t wait for you to get started with Stata and to see where it takes you!

Discover some of Stata‘s hidden (and not so hidden) gems. The Tips & Tricks webinar shares with you some of the Stata developers’ favorite Stata features. It includes the following tips: label in three ways, standardize graphs using the graph recorder, then fit a model, now what?, interpret and understand the model, transform interactive use into reproducible results, work with Word. Join for this one-hour webinar and learn how you can make your interactions with Stata more efficient and effective.

Stata‘s putdocx, putpdf, and putexcel commands allow you to create customized Word documents, PDFs, and Excel files with Stata results and graphs. For example, with putdocx you can create reports in Word that include large blocks of text, headers, footers, and chapter and page numbers.

We demonstrate how to create Word documents with Stata summary statistics, regression tables, and graphs. Find out how to interact Stata‘s features with Word’s features and how to automate your work when you want to regularly update reports. You will also see how easy it is to use putpdf and putexcel to similarly create reproducible reports in PDF and Excel formats.

This webinar provides a practical introduction to Bayesian analysis using Stata‘s bayesmh command, with a focus on applications that require user-defined likelihoods and specialized priors. While standard prefix commands offer efficiency for common models, bayesmh enables the implementation of customized Bayesian models. Because this command allows greater model flexibility, it naturally requires a more complex syntax. This webinar provides a comprehensive, step-by-step walk-through of the entire process.

Using a variety of applied examples, I will navigate the mechanics of defining nonstandard likelihood functions, specifying priors, and evaluating Metropolis–Hastings convergence. This session offers a comprehensive framework for practitioners to conduct Bayesian estimation tailored to their specific research goals.

Programming in Stata can make your data analysis more efficient, reproducible, and scalable. This webinar introduces the essential tools for using Stata‘s scripting and matrix languages for researchers who want to transition beyond basic command execution. No prior coding experience is required.

The session examines the mechanics of writing do-files and defining custom programs to automate repetitive tasks. Additionally, we provide an introduction to Mata, Stata’s high-performance matrix programming language, and discuss how it extends your analytical capabilities.

This webinar will review the concepts of probability and nonprobability sampling and sampling with and without replacement. It will also introduce the finite population correction factor. I introduce the major sampling designs, explain how to calculate sample weights, and explain how to use Stata‘s svyset command to prepare data for analyses that account for the sampling design. I will then demonstrate how to analyze data with these characteristics.
