Straightforward, clear, and applied, this book will give you the theoretical and practical basis you need to apply data analysis techniques to real data.
Combining key statistical concepts with detailed technical advice, it addresses common themes and problems presented by real research, and shows you how to adjust your techniques and apply your statistical knowledge to a range of datasets. It also embeds code and software output throughout and is supported by online resources to enable practice and safe experimentation.
The book includes:
· Original case studies and data sets
· Practical exercises and lists of commands for each chapter
· Downloadable Stata programmes created to work alongside chapters
· A wide range of detailed applications using Stata
· Step-by-step guidance on writing the relevant code.
This is the perfect text for anyone doing statistical research in the social sciences getting started using Stata for data analysis.

This is a great book for my beginners level students. The structure is intuitive and I likes the Stata examples. The part on using do-files could have been more detailed and could have covered writing Stata code in more depth. But overall, a great & well written resource. I will adopt it for the reading list, I'm considering making it essential reading on my module.
