It is hard to determine what "standard situations" are, they tend to differ quite a bit from discipline to discipline. This is in part due to "real" differences in terms of the kind of questions that are being asked and the kind of data that can be collected, but in part this is also due to differences in folklore as to what potential problems are critically important and what potential problems can be safely ignored. Having said that, a list of tricks can be useful. A list covering the basics (e.g. I did not get to clustering) can be found in this talk that I gave at the 2008 North American Stata Users' Group meeting: http://ideas.repec.org/p/boc/nsug08/14.html Hope this helps, Maarten -------------------------- Maarten L.
