Re: st: very simple statistical analysis question for survey data

Hello Stata Listserve -
A colleague and I are analyzing categorical survey data using
tabulate <varname1> <varname2> if <varname3>, chi2 and gologit2
<outcomevar> <explanatoryvar1> <explanatoryvar2> etc, autofit. In
building our models we are using output from the contingency tables
we have created using tabulation (both simple 2-way tables as well
as the slightly more complicated tables noted above) as well as common sense
...
Are there other resources (geared toward novices) we ought to be
referencing? Have we missed an important step?
Any suggestions as to where we might, as beginners, locate
insightful resources - documentation or persons, are much appreciated.
Jen, it isn't totally clear what you want to do. And, fond as I am
of gologit2, I don't know that I would jump to it quite as quickly as
you seem to be doing.
I would suggest getting a good grounding in Categorical Data Analysis
using Stata first. Toward that end, I highly recommend Long & Freese's book:
