Datasets
There are a number of Stata datasets listed below that students can use in their homework and as
examples. There are additional datasets in each of the units that are used in the classroom
demonstrations.
Converting Datasets to Other Stat Packages
If you want to use any of these dataset with other Stat packages you will need to convert them because
only Stata can read Stata datasets. There is a wonderful program called Stat Transfer that will
convert dataset from one stat package to another. Stat Transfer is available on computers in
the Stat Consulting office, Math Science 4919 (open Mon-Thur, 10am-12pm & 2pm-4pm). It is
also available in the CLCC labs in the Powell Library. To access Stat Transfer in in CLCC labs
you will find in the directory of programs from the Social Sciences Computing.
Stat Transfer can convert dataset from Stata to SAS, SPSS, Minitab, Splus, Systat and many other
formats. It can also convert datasets from any of the above into Stata format.
