Overview
This comprehensive webinar is hosted through Zoom and runs over a total of 9 hours, with 4 hours each day (2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon) with an extra Q&A session on the second day.
Regression modelling is a fundamental tool in the research box of every economist, econometrician or applied researcher in a variety of fileds. Regression refers to the set of models that capture the dynamics of the expected /average value of a variable of interest.
This course is for researchers from all academic disciplines who are new to Stata. The course assumes only limited statistical knowledge and experience of using statistical software. The participants will be introduced to Stata and will be taught the statistical theory behind linear and non-linear regression methods. These methods to specially chosen datasets using examples from macro economic and finance research.
Agenda
Two days of online instruction for four hours per day.
Two hours each morning, followed by two hours each afternoon.
Hour-long Q&A session at the end of each day to address queries.
