Why Stata

(draft)

• Because it's high quality software, with excellent documentation.
• Because it's quick(er) to use than other less interactive solutions.
  • Which is appropriate for students who will never code ever again.
  • Which leaves spaces in class to learn statistical modelling.
• Because it's a professional asset in several social-science environments.
• Because you will complement it with R soon enough.
