| Content | Stata has a simple and intuitive structured programming language. With an understanding of basic programming concepts – like looping, branching and macro variables – Stata becomes a very flexible and powerful application. Programming skills are useful for batch processing. Tasks and exercises reflect situations encountered in real life with a focus on epidemiology and biomedical science. |
| Learning objectives | To use STATA more efficiently; to have the ability to write own STATA commands; to understand the concepts of loops and macros to automate repetitive tasks. |
| Comments | Participants need an own laptop with Stata version 10 or higher installed. This advanced course presumes basic familiarity with Stata (28893-01 Biostatistics or equivalent knowledge). Methods: Lectures and practical sessions lecture takes place week 8 - 14 hybrid or online only from 28 April (depending on situtation, will be communicated to students directly) |
