These exercises are designed as stimulants to learning Stata and exploring its capabilities. These exercises will be treated the same way as assigned reading materials, and I will check if you have tried these exercises by randomly picking some of you to tell us how you would carry out the procedures.
If you don't have Stata installed on your own computers or lab computers, you can have access to it at College of Arts & Science Microcomputer Labs. [The labs are open to all with Vanderbilt ID but you may not be able to enter the buildings at night. At least you can go there during the day. The version they have is version 8, not 9. Version 8 should do all we want to do, probably with the same commands but somewhat different menu setup.]If you have chosen software packages other than Stata, please let me know.
