Gwilym Pryce 4 March 2009
These notes are designed to accompany a 2 hour practical workshop on the widely used
statistics programme, Stata. The session includes guidance on how to open and exit Stata,
how to open a data file, how to use a syntax file, how to save output, how to create a

commands before requesting that Stata execute them). The results of your
commands will usually be displayed in the Results window (no surprises there
