Learn to analyse with
STATA is a software package used for statistical data analysis, data management, and graphical representation. It is extensively used by researchers and professionals from the field of social sciences economics, epidemiology, biostatics, and finance.

Getting started with STATA
The articles in this section discuss different types of data that STATA handles. Furthermore, it discusses the management of dependent and independent variables and how to import data from other formats.
Basic statistical tools
This section comprises of articles on basic statistical tools of correlation and regression. Two types of regression namely linear regression and non-linear regression are discussed. Furthermore, how they are analyzed in STATA and how the results can be interpreted.
- How to do the correlation analysis in STATA?
- Procedure and interpretation of linear regression analysis using STATA
- Non linear regression analysis in STATA and its interpretation
- Understanding the correlation and regression analysis values
- Application of multivariate regression analysis
- How to work with a moderating variable in the regression test with SPSS?
- How to work with a mediating variable in a regression analysis?
- How to process the primary dataset for a regression analysis?
- What is the relevance of significant results in regression analysis?
Time series analysis
This section of the module discusses the analysis of continuous data sets that represents time dimensions. Furthermore, it also covers stationarity, normality, and stability in data. This section is designed in a way to introduce the Univariate Time Series and Multivariate Time series. It explores the structural economic model building and critical appraisal of models based on statistical testing methods.

Panel data analysis
This section is designed in a way to introduce a panel data series and its estimation. Here the articles focus on pooled OLS regression, fixed effect models and random effect models. The issue of choice between fixed effect and random effect and panel level heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation are also covered.
