Additional Resources
General
Here are some external resources that can help you get started in STATA:
-
UCLA'S Introduction to Stata Materials, including short movies and lectures notes, as well as textbook examples
-
Stata Blogs: the official blog of Stata and a list of Stata-related blogs
Math
If you are interested in exploring more of the math behind the statistics we learn and use, you may find the following resources useful:
1. Students in Math 141 (Introduction to Probability and Statistics) learn statistical computation in R instead of in STATA, but they learn the similar concepts and tests to what we learn in RDDA.
- Course description
- This year, Albyn Jones' section of the course uses a notes pack sold in the Reed bookstore; Albert Kim's follows this free textbook (available as a PDF online).
- Albyn's lecture notes are posted online here. His lab notes can be found here.
2. This interactive website from UAH contains "free, high quality, interactive, web-based resources for students and teachers of probability and statistics."
3. The Reed library has many relevant books on mathematical statistics, notably including Miller & Miller's John E. Freund's Mathematical Statistics with Applications (QA276 .M4726 2004) and Bickel & Doksum's Mathematical Statistics: Basic and Selected Topics (QA276 .B47 2001).
