Stata Tutorials Topic 19: Descriptive Statistics (describe, summarize, codebook) | Summary Statistics and Data Management Using Stata

Hi, I am Bob. Welcome to this free Stata online course. In this course, I will introduce Stata commands for descriptive statistics, data management, OLS regression analysis, and post-estimation tests. There are three modules in this course. In the first module, you will learn how to obtain the summary statistics, such as the mean and the median, of a variable.

Today, we will start with the first topic: the three basic Stata commands that provide descriptive and summary statistics. They are "describe", "summarize", and "codebook".

Please download the BOB.dta dataset:
