Gain a solid grounding in statistical reasoning and learn the essentials of data management and regression analysis using Stata. This course introduces core statistical concepts and guides learners through the basics of working with data and performing foundational regression techniques.

This course covers the fundamental principles of research and statistics, providing a clear understanding of statistical inference, probability, and objectivity in quantitative research. Learners will become proficient in using Stata for data entry, management, and exploration, and will develop skills in simple and multiple regression analysis. By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently manage datasets and perform essential statistical analyses using Stata. The course combines clear explanations of statistical concepts with practical demonstrations in Stata, using real-world examples to reinforce learning. Learners progress step-by-step from foundational theory to hands-on application, ensuring both conceptual understanding and practical competence. This course is part one of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey. This course is based on Applied Statistics Using Stata, by Mehmet Mehmetoglu and Tor Georg Jakobsen. Copyright ©2022 by Sage Publications Limited.
