Yes, I needed to learn these STATA commands sooner than later, and these commands and descriptions are very helpful at this stage.

Great examples. This will save me hours of reading Stata manuals and searching the web. It also introduces the use of a number of user written commands that would otherwise not be identified.

All the tips look amazing, and I never knew that STATA can be more convenient. The only suggestion that I want to share is that, I hope the instructor can combine all the coding in one "do file". It would be easier for us to download, instead of downloading multiple do files for each "tip". Thank you!
