Preliminary: How to Keep a Log of Your Stata Session 6. Preliminary: How to Save a Stata Graph Before You Begin Please note I do a lot of comments! You will see many of my commands that begin with an asterisk (*). They re also in green. While recommended, you don t actually have to type these comments. Tip! Make it a habit to keep a log of your Stata session (ideally saved as a.log ). Tip! Make it a habit to store your commands in a DO file (more on this later). A.do file is an archive of the commands that you executed that you can RE-execute later! stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 1 of 19
2 I Launching and Exiting Stata 1. Launching Stata Stata can be launched in either of two ways: 1) in the stata program, click on the stata application; or 2) double click on the short cut that you have created. PC Users Start > ALL PROGRAMS > Stata; or Double click on the Stata icon shortcut. MAC Users APPLICATIONS > Stata> Stata; or Double click on the Stata icon shortcut on your dock. Stata will ask you if you would like to check for updates. Update now or later, your choice. Click OK stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 2 of 19
3 2. Exiting Stata From the toolbar at top, at far left: Click Stata/SE 14.1 (note your icon might be Stata/IC 14.1) From the drop down menu, click Quit Stata stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 3 of 19
4 II Toolbar, Menu Bar, and Windows 1. Toolbar The default arrangement of windows and toolbars in Stata includes a tool bar located below the main menu. It provides short cuts to some frequently used facilities. Many of the icons, like the icons in the main menu bar, produce drop down menus from which you can make additional, related, selections. Key to Toolbar Tool Description Open Use to open a stata data set for use in Stata Save Use to save a stata data set. See also the drop down menu for the Save As utility Print Use to print the contents of the currently active window. If you want to print the contents of a different window, press and hold the print tool to select the window you wish to print. Log Use to create, pause, resume or exit a log of your session. This is an alternative to the FILE > LOG instruction from the main menu. Viewer The viewer tool is used, primarily, as a resource for obtaining help. stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 4 of 19
5 Key to Toolbar continued Tool Description Bring graph window to front Click here to bring the graph window to the front. See also the drop down menu for specific graph selections. Do File Editor Click here to launch the do file editor. This is the window you activate to write your own Stata-do files Data Editor Click here to create a new data set if there is no current data set or, to edit the current data set if it exists. Tip Do not use the data editor to make changes to your data set. Instead, make changes using commands in a do-file or log so that you save a record. Data Browser Click here to view the data, without risk of inadvertently making changes. More This tells Stata to continue processing commands when it has paused. Break This tells Stata to stop the current command(s) it is executing stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 5 of 19
6 2. Menu Bar Tip - To obtain a description of each icon, simply place your mouse over the icon. A description should appear. The main menu is similar in layout to the main menu in many software programs. Each selection ( File, Edit, etc) produces a drop down menu from which you can do additional, related, selections. Key to Main Menu File Edit Drop Down Menus New: do-file or project (multiple files that are together) Open: open/use a Stata data set Open recent: open/use a Stata data set Open recent do-files: open/use a do-file Close: close Stata Close tab: Close project: Save/Save as: save the current Stata data set Save project: save the current Stata project Revert to saved: View: view a file or a URL Do: Open a Do file Filename: Copy a file to the command line Change working directory: Set the current directory Start graph editor: Log: Start/append a log of your session Import: Import data of other formats into Stata Export: Export Stata data to other formats Example datasets: You can access example data here Print: Print log or graph Copy/Paste: use to copy /paste of text among command, results and log windows Copy/Table: use to copy a table in the results window to another file. stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 6 of 19
7 Key to Main Menu - continued Drop Down Menus View Data Graphics Click here to view and manage data, add variable labels, change orientation of windows, view and modify graphs, etc. Click here to browse or edit data. From here you can use menus to obtain variable labels and discrete value code labels. Click here to obtain menu driven graphs (eg histogram, XY scatter, etc) Statistics Click here to obtain menu driven statistical analyses (eg normal theory linear regression, analysis of variance, logistic regression, etc) User Window Help Click here for menus of user-supplied stata commands Click here to navigate among the windows Click here for help. stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 7 of 19
8 3. Windows When Stata starts up, your screen will display the following (unless you have changed your windows preferences): - main menu: This is the narrow toolbar located at the top of your screen, - tool bar: This is located just below main menu, plus - windows: In this picture, you see the variables window. Main Tool bar Window s stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 8 of 19
9 Five Main Windows The five main windows are: (1) command, (2) results, (3) review, (4) variables and (5) properties. Stata provides other windows as well: Viewer, Data Editor, Data Browser, Do-file Editor, Graph, and Graph Editor. More on these later. Key to Five Main Windows Window Description 1 Command This is where you type your command 2 Results This window shows the output from commands, including error messages 3 Review This window is a record of your previous commands. You can scroll through this window and highlight previous commands that you want to execute again. 4 Variables This is a handy listing of your variables and labels. 5 Properties Tip!

10 III First Session Key to colors For this first illustration, I have color-keyed comments, commands, and results. Green - These are comments. In Stata, commands that begin with an asterisk are comments. Bold Black - These are commands. Each is shown with a leading period. In practice, you do not type the leading period. Blue - This is Stata output. Compare it with the output you get. 1. Preliminaries (working directory, start log, input data).***** Command log to start a log of your session (good practice). log using /users/carolbigelow/desktop/junk.log, replace name: <unnamed> log: /users/cbigelow/desktop/junk.log log type: text. ***** Command cd to set working directory. cd/users/carolbigelow/desktop /Users/cbigelow/Desktop. ***** Command use to input Stata data set from the internet. use " (In Vitro Fertilization data). ***** Command save to save a copy of the data set to current working directory.

14 4. Preliminary: How to Screen Capture When to Screen Capture Screen capture is useful when you want to capture a picture to be pasted elsewhere. The picture might be what is on your screen following a Google image search. Or it might be what is on your screen after obtaining an error message. There are two steps: (1) capturing the picture, followed by (2) pasting the picture elsewhere. Step 1 Capture the Picture (PC Users) stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 14 of 19
15 Step 1 Capture the Picture (for MAC Users) Step 2 Paste the Picture 1. Launch WORD 2. Scroll to the location where the picture is to be placed. Tip Make sure there is a blank line above this location. 3. Use the TABLE commands to create a table that has 1 row and 1 column 4. Position the cursor inside your table. Tip Center the cursor so that your picture will be centered. 5. Use INSERT > PICTURE > FROM FILE to insert your picture. YOUR TURN: a. Launch Word. Create an empty word document called lab1.doc b. Using your browser, go to the welcome page for BIOSTATS 540 c. Capture the picture of the entrance to the Louvre Museum d. Paste into lab1.doc stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 15 of 19
16 5. Preliminary: How to Keep a Log of Your Stata Session When to Keep a Log of Your Stata Session The short answer is: ALWAYS! This is both an archive of your work that can be reproduced later and a record of what you have learned how to do (thus, saving you having to re-learn it later!). It is also useful in report writing. You can import sections of your log, results mostly, into the report that you write. A Stata log can be saved in either of two formats: smcl or log.smcl smcl stands for stata markup and control language. This format preserves all the Stata formatting and controls..log This is a plain text format. This format is easily imported into MS Word or Notepad. Tip Save your log in format.log Step 1: From the main menu at upper left: FILE > LOG > BEGIN stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 16 of 19
17 Step 2: Click on drop down menu at right of FILE FORMAT: Step 3: Choose Stata Log Step 4: With a name of your choosing, enter name at SAVE AS: Then click SAVE YOUR TURN: a. Launch Stata b. Start a log of your lab session, using file format.log and that you name stata_lab1 Tip After you select File Format: Stata Log, it is not necessary to type the extension.log. Stata will do this for you. stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 17 of 19
18 6. Preliminary: How to Save a Stata Graph When to Save a Stata Graph Again, the short answer is: ALWAYS! Surely you will want to display your graph somewhere, yes? Step 1: Create your graph (for now just follow along by typing the following in the command window) * Command sysuse to open a data set that is internal to Stata. sysuse auto graph twoway (scatter price mpg) (lfit price mpg), title( Simple Linear Regression ) stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 18 of 19
19 Step 2: With the graph window still active, click on the SAVE icon. Step 3: From drop down menu for File format: Choose PORTABLE NETWORK GRAPHICS (*.png) Step 4: Using a name of your choosing, enter your choices at SAVE AS and at WHERE. Then click on the SAVE icon. YOUR TURN (Be sure that you are still using the Stata data set auto.dta): a. Launch Stata. b. In the command window, type: histogram foreign, discrete c. Save the graph to your desktop under the name foreign_bar.png stata handout 01 Fall 2016 first session.docx Page 19 of 19
