28879-01 - Lecture: Programming in STATA (1 CP)
| Semester | spring semester 2024 |
| Course frequency | Every spring sem. |
| Lecturers | Jan Hattendorf (jan.hattendorf@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Note: Participants are expected to bring their own laptops with Stata installed. 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 13 or higher installed. This advanced course assumes that the participants have used Stata before (28893-01 Biostatistics or equivalent knowledge). Methods: Lectures and practical sessions lecture starts in the 2nd half of the semester. |
