Statistical Package for MPH

Our recommended statistical package for the MPH course is Stata. All students are supplied with a copy of Stata for their laptops and it is also available on teaching classroom PCs. Stata provides many functions for data analysis, data management, and graphics. Although Stata can be run in a menu-driven 'point & click mode', we recommend that you take the time to learn Stata commands and use the command-line interface. Christopher Baum from Boston College explains why this is good idea. There are many useful Stata resources on the web. A few are listed below.
