The latest in a series of regular seminars consisted of an introduction to Stata, the widely used software for statistical analysis. The seminar held on 9 April was led by Dr Zahid Asghar, senior lecturer in statistics, and was attended by members of the Community and Health Research Unit.
The presentation covered basic Stata commands designed to inspect and examine data, before going on to summarise data using simple descriptive statistics. This laid the foundations for future sessions examining regression and more advanced statistical techniques.
