Nationwide inpatient sample

[Raj Patel]

Hi everyone,

I started to learn STATA for my NIS data analysis recently. I have no experience of using any statistical software in the past. How should I proceed ?

Hi Raj, welcome to the list.

Since you are new to Stata, I recommend the Getting Started guide for Stata. You can access this by typing -help getting started- in the command window, or, you can use the Help menu -> PDF Documentation and clicking the Getting Started link on the PDF. The documentation is included with your installation of Stata already.
