The best book for beginners
Customer Rating:
This is the book I have been waiting for! It assumes no prior knowledge of STATA and goes step-by-step through practical exercises that a person handling data would need to do in everyday work. This book would have helped me a ton during my graduate courses, as I did not have any formal introduction to STATA and pieced together commands from various books and websites. Thank you, Alan Acock and STATA Press, for recognizing that not everyone is innately adept at programming. If you are a beginner or find yourself spinning your wheels with commands, this book is what you need.
