Training Courses

Prof. Sébastien Laurent, Aix-Marseille University

Panel data econometrics has developed rapidly over the last decades.

Longitudinal data are more and more available to researchers and methods to analyse these data are in high demand from scholars from different fields.

The course offers a comprehensive overview on panel data methods with Stata, covering static and dynamic linear models.

Each session briefly introduces the different methodologies, discussing strengths and weaknesses with a focus on the interpretation of the results.

By the end of the two-day on-line course, participants should be able to prepare panel data for the analysis with Stata, choose the relevant model, get the parameter estimates and interpret the results.

Course Timetable: 10am - 12pm & 2pm - 4pm (London time)

This course is a primer to machine learning techniques using Stata. Stata owns today various packages to perform machine learning which are however poorly known to many Stata users. This course fills this gap by making participants familiar with (and knowledgeable of) Stata potential to draw knowledge and value from rows of large, and possibly noisy data. The teaching approach will be based on the graphical language and intuition more than on algebra. The training will make use of instructional as well as real-world examples, and will balance evenly theory and practical sessions.

Course Timetable: 10am - 12pm & 2pm - 4pm

Our web-based 'Introduction to Panel Data Analysis with Stata' course provides an overview of the most-used panel data techniques and is ideal for the beginner/intermediate-level user who wants to learn how to implement panel data estimation with Stata commands.

Course Overview

Course Timetable: 10am - 12pm & 2pm - 4pm

This course provides participants with the essential tools, both theoretical and applied, for a proper use of instrumental variables (IV) and structural equation models (SEM) for statistical causal modelling using Stata.

Overview

Course Timetable: 10am - 12pm & 2pm - 4pm

This course is for professionals and researchers who are new to Stata. The course assumes only limited statistical knowledge and experience of using statistical software. The participants will be introduced to Stata’s interface. They will be shown how manage and prepare datasets for analysis. The fundamentals of data analysis and visualization will also be taught. Then, the participants will be introduced to two of the main data analysis tools: linear regression and logistic regression. Participants will be taught the statistical theory behind these methods, and they will apply these methods to specially chosen datasets using examples from health research.

Course Timetable: 10am - 12pm & 2pm - 4pm

This course will focus on three specific techniques: regression and classification trees (including bagging, random forests, and boosting), kernel-based regression, and global methods (step-wise, polynomial, spline, and series regressions).The teaching approach will be mainly based on the graphical language and intuition more so than on algebra. The training will make use of instructional as well as real-world examples, and will evenly balance theory and practical sessions.

The course is open to people coming from all scientific fields, but it is particularly targeted to researchers working in the medical, epidemiological and socio-economic sciences.
