STATA Course

There will be a STATA course running for RLAB members next term. The sessions will take place on Tuesdays between 5.30 and 7.30 from 13th January-3rd March.

The course will be split into sections:

the first three weeks will cover information for beginners the fourth week will be an introduction to programming (can be attended by beginners, and will be a requirement for anyone taking the more advanced programming sessions) the fifth-seventh weeks will cover more advanced programming and matrix programming.
the eighth week is reserved in case of overrun

I will email more details about what the course will cover as soon as I can, but wanted to give as much warning as possible so you can put it in your diary.

The course is free as costs are covered by the centres, however people who reserve places and subsequently drop out without explanation may be asked to reimburse their centre with the cost of the sessions missed, so please don't book for the sake of it.
