Book excerpt: An Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis Using Stata®: From Research Design to Final Report, Second Edition provides an integrated approach to research methods, statistics and data analysis, and interpretation of results in Stata. Drawing on their combined 25 years of experience teaching statistics and research methods, authors Lisa Daniels and Nicholas Minot frame data analysis within the research process—identifying gaps in the literature, examining the theory, developing research questions, designing a questionnaire or using secondary data, analyzing the data, and writing a research paper—so readers better understand the context of data analysis. Throughout, the text focuses on documenting and communicating results so students can produce a finished report or article by the end of their courses. The Second Edition has been thoroughly updated with all new articles and data—including coverage of ChatGPT, COVID-19 policies, and SAT scores—to demonstrate the relevance of data analysis for students. A new chapter on advanced methods in regression analysis allows instructors to better feature these important techniques. Stata code has been updated to the latest version, and new exercises throughout offer more chances for practice.
