Stata Data Sets
To download any of the following Stata data sets, click on the data set name, then follow
instructions. The numbers at the beginning of these names
indicate the chapter and subsection where the data set is
first used in Dupont (2002).
These data sets can also be opened directly from within Stata on
any computer that is connected to the Internet. For example, the
Stata command
.use http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/dupontwd/wddtext/data/1.3.2.Sepsis.dta
will open the 1.3.2.Sepsis data set directly over the web.
When opening a Stata data file in this way you must be careful to
capitalize the web address and data file name correctly.
