Hamilton covers topics including getting started in Stata, data manipulation, graphics, summary statistics and tables, ANOVA, linear regression (and diagnostics), curve fitting, robust methods, regression models for limited dependent variables, panel (longitudinal) data and mixed models, survey data, survival analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, time series, and an introduction to programming.
Notable changes to Statistics with Stata (Updated for Version 10) include a new chapter on survey data analysis using Stata’s svy: prefix command and a chapter on the multilevel and mixed model commands introduced in Stata 10. Chapter 3, covering graphics, has been updated to include a section demonstrating Stata’s Graph Editor. The entire book has also been updated to reflect changes in output, syntax, and features.
