An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata, by Christopher F. Baum, successfully bridges the gap between learning econometrics and learning how to use Stata. The book presents a contemporary approach to econometrics, emphasizing the role of method-of-moments estimators, hypothesis testing, and specification analysis while providing practical examples showing how the theory is applied to real datasets by using Stata.
This book provides an excellent resource for both teaching and learning modern microeconometric practice, using the most popular software package in this area. The coverage includes discrete choice models and models for panel data, as well as linear regression and instrumental variables methods. I particularly like the material on handling large datasets and developing efficient programs within Stata, which provide the reader with an invaluable introduction to good practice in empirical research.

Communication, collaboration and career developmentAutoStat is an ideal environment for sophisticated statistical analysis, such as Bayesian models with stochastic search variable selection. The report building, collaboration and visualization feature all assist users in communicating outcomes.Data Modeling and Analysis, Data Science and Big DataAutoStat will help different users of big data in many different ways. For example, the point and click nature of AutoStat will allow data analysts to perform sophisticated machine learning and produce the standard results by default without needing to implement code, decide on the most appropriate libraries or construct their own visualisations. The Bayesian models provided in AutoStat R are highly optimised and scalable to big data. Default settings have been based on the latest research in the area of each model, are well documented and are prominently displayed so that users are aware of their settings (and can easily change them).Software, Programming and Data VisualizationAutoStat provides modern graphics using drop and drag, with many customisable styles and the option of layering within charts. Users can produce high quality graphics without the need to code. 781b155fdc
