Juul (epidemiology) and Frydenberg (biostatistics, both Aarhus U., Denmark) update their introduction to the data management, statistical analysis, and graphics software emphasizing features they have found most useful in health research. They assume readers have little or no experience with Stata. Among the topics are file types and names, command syntax, variables, calculations, commands affecting the data structure, descriptive and simple analysis, regression analysis, measurement and diagnosis, graphs, and macros and scalars. Earlier editions were published in 2006 and 2008; this third incorporates version 11 of the software. Annotation ⓒ2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
