An introductory statistics course for social scientists, using Stata

This repository contains the Statistical Reasoning and Quantitative Methods (SRQM) course taught at Sciences Po by François Briatte (2010-2018) and Ivaylo Petev (2010-2013).

The course requires a working copy of Stata. Instructions to set up your computer for the course are provided in the introduction of the course handbook. Additional material is distributed in class through Google Docs.

If you are reading this online on GitHub, please feel free to report issues or ask for enhancements. Feedback on running the course with Stata 13+ is particularly welcome, as is feedback on running the course with older versions of Stata.

Students – please check with your instructor as soon as possible if you have any questions or are having difficulties with the course setup, which will be explained extensively in class. Welcome to the course, and see you soon!
