Stata is among the best softwares for data management and statistical analysis. It is a fast, powerful statistical package designed for researchers of all disciplines. Stata is a complete, integrated statistical package that provides everything for data analysis from data management to basic analysis and advanced analysis. Stata makes it easy to conduct data cleaning and management, distinctly styled graphs, descriptive analysis and advanced analysis. It has both a command line and graphical user interface making the use of the software more intuitive.
With its user-friendly interface and extraordinary analytical and graphical abilities, STATA is the preferred statistical analysis tool for large numbers of data analysts. Its capabilities include a broad range of statistical analyses, plus data management, graphics, simulations and custom programming. STATA empowers users to engage their data in an extremely hands-on and interactive manner, without the need to devote extensive time and effort to programming. Stata is designed to work on data organized in rectangular or spreadsheet format, with rows representing observations and columns representing the variables recorded on those observations.
Datalyst Africa is inviting all interested persons and organisations from any part of this world to a 3-Da
y STATA workshop to be held (Dates - To be advised) in Harare in Zimbabwe. The 3-day workshop provides intensive, hands-on training in the fundamentals of data analysis and interpretation using STATA statistical software. Participants will be able to produce and interpret basic, intermediate and advanced descriptive and inferential statistics using Stata version 15. Participants will also learn how to use Stata to perform continuous and categorical data comparisons, analysis of variance and regression analysis including multi-variable linear and logistic regression. Participants completing the STATA workshop will have gained the confidence to use STATA to organize and analyse data.

- Read existing datasets into Stata
- Use Stata's data input-output facilities, writing re-usable Stata code and perform simple data-management and statistical analysis tasks
- Modify the data format to make it easier to analyse
- Produce and edit graphical displays
- Perform intermediate and advanced statistical analysis tests
Who should attend?
The workshop is intended for:
- Beginners, for those who want to brush-up their Stata skills, and for those with knowledge about statistical models or methods who want to know how to implement them in Stata. It is specifically about using Stata rather than explaining statistical concepts or methods.
