IIn this third Stata course, participants will learn how to use Stata efficiently for more extensive and repetitive tasks, while reducing the chance of data processing errors.  Topics include conversion of non-numeric data to numeric form, reshaping repeated measures or clustered data between "wide" and "long" formats, using Stata's in-built variables to count across groups of observations, and familiarisation with extended methods for generating new variables from existing data.  Time-saving techniques covered include how to repeat the same command(s) for a number of variables or values (looping), and finding and downloading useful extensions to offical Stata. 
Note:  The course does not cover further techniques for statistical data analysis.
