VIDEO: INTRODUCTION TO STATA EMBA Data Analysis Professor Timothy Simcoe Boston University School of Management

Agenda Loading data Stata’s windows Creating a variable Advanced stuff Learning resources

Loading Data Download “Brookline Home Prices” data set - Two ways to import data - Excel Import Tool: “File > Import > Excel…” - As Stata (.dta) data set: “File > Open…” - Type “clear” in Command box before loading new data Stata always stores data as single “rectangular” worksheet - Row = Observation, Column = Variable

Stata’s Windows Results Window: Where Stata displays output after you tell it to do something Command window: Where you type in commands (unless you prefer to use the drop down menus) Review window: List of previous Commands, click for a “do over” Variables window: Useful info about the variables in current data set Menu Bar: Single location to access all features of program

Stata also has a “spreadsheet” view Data Editor allows editing (not recommended) Data Browser only permits viewing data Click here to view data in “spread- sheet” format Note that string variables are displayed in RED, & numeric variables are displayed in BLACK

Creating a new variable Goal: Make new variable that measures assessed value per square foot Using Menu Bar - Select “Data > Create or change data > Create new variable” - Using dialog box, provide a name (“dpsf”)… and expression (“value/area”) - No spaces allowed in variable names - Can remove variables by typing “drop [variable name]” on the Command line Using Stata’s “generate” command - Type “generate dpsf = value / area” on Command line Three ways to reduce typing (and typos) - Click next to variable name to paste in Command line - Click in Review Window to paste previous commands - Renaming variables, e.g. “rename dpsf warm-and-fuzzy”

Advanced stuff Creating tabular summaries of the data - “table nbhd, contents(p25 value p75 value) Visualizing the data - “histogram dpsf” Modeling relationships in the data - “regress value rooms” - “twoway (scatter value rooms) (lfit value rooms”)

Additional Resources The Instructor - I am available to answer Stata questions any time - I prefer to take these questions by Help Manuals - Type “help” or “help [command name]” in Stata to see the manuals Internet - Google “Stata Help” for a wealth of information SMG Tools - I will post a Tutorial, Cheat Sheet and Tips to a “Stata Help” folder Reference Books - “A Gentle Introduction to Stata”
