[Ulrich Kohler <ukohler@uni-potsdam.de>]

Dear Statalisters,

this is a reminder that submissions for presentations on the German 
Stata Users Group Meeting is March 1, 2014. Please find detailed 
information about the meeting on

I also take the opportunity to announce the list, that a Workshop on the 
Visualization of Statisticval Data will be held in Hamburg on the day 
before the German Stata Users Group Meeting at 12/06/2014. Detailed 
information about the Workshop will be distributed with the final 
program of the meeting. A short description is given below my signature.

Many regards

Visualization of Statistical Data Using Stata
---------------------------------------------


Visualization of statistical data can be very helpful, both for data 
analysis and for the presentation of the results of statistical analyses 
to a wider audience. In order to use graphs in a meaningful way, 
researcher must (1) pay attention to style rules for statistical graphs 
and (2) learn how to use Stata to create WYGIWYW-graphs (What You Get Is 
What You Want). The workshop discusses style rules for statistcal graphs 
in general, and introduces the combination of resultssets and -graph 
twoway- as the working horse to create arbitrary statistical graphs. 
Finally discusses several ways to present the results of regression 
models and particularly the use of -marginsplot-

Participants should have a basic unterstanding of Stata's graph command.

Instructor
----------

Ulrich Kohler is author of the textbook "Data Analysis Using Stata" and
