Comment from the Stata technical group

An Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis Using Stata, by Lisa Daniels and Nicholas Minot, is an excellent textbook for for introducing statistics, research methods, and Stata to undergraduate students in social sciences, behavioral sciences, business, and similar disciplines. This book walks students through the entire research process from designing a study and collecting data to performing statistical analyses and reporting results.

The authors discuss descriptive statistics and graphics for describing data; hypothesis testing for one and two means; cross-tabulations; tests for proportions; tests for association; and linear, logistic, and probit regression. The second edition also covers advanced methods in regression analysis, including instrumental variables, time-series analysis, and panel-data regression.

The authors devote one of the early chapters to introducing Stata. Then, throughout the book, they demonstrate how to use Stata commands and Stata's point-and-click interface for each data management task, graph, and statistical analysis they discuss. To illustrate real-world applications, the new edition contains updated examples covering current and engaging topics, such as the impact of artificial intelligence on education, the characteristics of individuals using online dating apps, and COVID-19 practices, among many others.

Daniels and Minot provide many resources for instructors and students. Instructors have access to suggested test and homework problems along with solutions. They can also take advantage of PowerPoint slides, which correspond with each chapter in the book. Students have access to all datasets so that they can work along with examples in the book. They can also use the provided electronic flash cards to review the concepts discussed in each chapter. Drawing on over 28 years of experience teaching statistics to undergraduate students, the authors are careful to include everything students need for an introductory statistics course taught using Stata.
