Lesson 1: Intro to Stata

Lesson Prerequisites

This lesson assumes that you have completed an introduction to Stata tutorial, like this one by G. Rodriguez. It also assumes that you have a working copy of Stata 15.0 or later on your machine. If you have an earlier version of Stata, all of the commands in this lesson will work, though the user interface may look slightly different. (The only command in this bootcamp that won’t work with earlier versions of Stata is the power command with the cluster option, which you will encounter in the lesson on Power Calculations. In that case you will have the option to use the user-written command clustersampsi.)
