What is An Introduction to Stata Programming, Second Edition about?

Christopher F. Baum's An Introduction to Stata Programming, Second Edition, is a great reference for anyone who wants to learn Stata programming. Baum assumes readers have some familiarity with Stata, but readers who are new to programming will find the book accessible. He begins by introducing programming concepts and basic tools. More advanced programming tools such as structures and pointers and likelihood-function evaluators using Mata are gradually introduced throughout the book alongside examples. This new edition reflects some of the most important statistical tools added since Stata 10. Of note are factor variables and operators, the computation of marginal effects, marginal means, and predictive margins using margins, the use of gmm to implement generalized method of moments estimation, and the use of suest for seemingly unrelated estimation. As in the previous edition of the book, Baum steps the reader through the three levels of Stata programming. He starts with do-files. Do-files are powerful batch files that support loops and conditional statements and are ideal to automate your workflow as well as to guarantee reproducibility of your work. He then delves into ado-file
