Abstract

This book has the following aims: i. Introduce the reader in a sequential and simplified way to inferential statistics ii. Illustrate using stata statistical software how different data can be analyzed. One has to bear in mind that different datasets require different analytical process and procedure. iii. Help the reader make meaning of interpretation of data analysis outputs. Bear in mind that however expensive a research process is, unless there is proper analysis and interpretation, the recommendations that come out of a flawed interpretation can be misguiding. In addition, this book makes use of 3 datasets. The reader is then expected to use the dataset and follow along the numerous illustrations contained in this book. That way, it is expected that the reader will find it easier to marry the theory and practice
