The Stata software program has matured into a user-friendly environment with a wide variety of statistical functions. This volume introduces readers to the use of Stata to solve agricultural statistical problems. It explains the various windows and menus, describes how they are integrated, and explores data entry and importing as well as basic output formats and descriptive statistics. The author describes the ever-increasing design complexity and how this is implemented in the software. He also examines programming ability, post hoc tests, and Stata’s graphing capabilities. The final chapters examine regression analysis, data transformations, and the analyses of non-parametric data.
