The Workflow of Data Analysis Using Stata

Abstract

The Workflow of Data Analysis Using Stata, by J. Scott Long, is a productivity tool for data analysts. Long guides you toward streamlining your workflow, because a good workflow is essential for replicating your work, and replication is essential for good science. A workflow of data analysis is a process for managing all aspects of data analysis. Planning, documenting, and organizing your work; cleaning the data; creating, renaming, and verifying variables; performing and presenting statistical analyses; producing replicable results; and archiving what you have done are all integral parts of your workflow. Long shows how to design and implement efficient workflows for both one-person projects and team projects.Stata, data management, workflow
