Info:
Data examples will be distributed to participants ahead of the course. Unzip the data files beforehand, and place them somewhere easy to find on your computer. Slides will be distributed after the course. The slides are quite detailed. Therefore instead of taking notes, we recommend to focus on active participation in Stata.
Important: We will expect that all participants have Stata already installed on their PC. The latest version of Stata may be downloaded from winprog.uio.no or macprog.uio.no. Stata is also available remotely on UiO Programkiosk. If you need help with the installation, contact local IT in your department.
