We will discuss SEM (structural equation modeling), not from the perspective of the models for which it is most often used--measurement models, confirmatory factor analysis, and the like--but from the perspective of how it can extend other estimators. From a wide range of choices, we will focus...

Math, when written carefully, can represent a model perfectly. Stata syntax, when written correctly, can represent a model perfectly. Everyone is supposed to understand math, but I have encountered those who do not. I personally think everyone should understand Stata syntax, but again, I have...

Stata's graphics are more flexible than many realise. We will exploit this flexibility and explore a potpourri of topics, some of interest to all graphers and others primarily of interest to those creating highly customised graphs or new graph commands. Among the topics will be creating custom...

We will take a quick tour of the graph editor, covering the basic concepts: adding text, lines, and markers; changing the defaults for added objects; changing properties; working quickly by combining the contextual toolbars with the more object dialogs; and using the object browser effectively....
