A Gentle Introduction to Stata Revised Sixth Edition

A Gentle Introduction to Stata Revised Sixth Edition

Alan C. Acock's A Gentle Introduction to Stata Revised Sixth Edition is aimed at new Stata users who want to become proficient in Stata. After reading this introductory text new users will be able to not only use Stata well but also learn new aspects of Stata. Acock assumes that the user is not familiar with any statistical software. This assumption of a blank slate is central to the structure and contents of the book. Acock starts with the basics; for example the part of the book that deals with data management begins with a careful and detailed example of turning survey data on paper into a Stata-ready dataset. When explaining how to go about basic exploratory statistical procedures Acock includes notes that will help the reader develop good work habits. This mixture of explaining good Stata habits and explaining good statistical habits continues throughout the book. Acock is quite careful to teach the reader all aspects of using Stata. He covers data management good work habits (including the use of basic do-files) basic exploratory statistics (including graphical displays) and analyses using the standard array of basic statistical tools (correlation linear and logistic regression and parametric and nonparametric tests of location and dispersion). He also successfully introduces some more advanced topics such as multiple imputation and multilevel modeling in a very approachable manner. Acock teaches Stata commands by using the menus and dialog boxes while still stressing the value of Stata commands and do-files. In this way he ensures that all types of users can build good work habits. Each chapter has exercises that the motivated reader can use to reinforce the material. The tone of the book is friendly and conversational without ever being glib or condescending. Important asides and notes about terminology are set off in boxes which makes the text easy to read without any convoluted twists or forward referencing. Rather than splitting topics by their Stata implementation Acock arranges the topics as they would appear in a basic statistics textbook; graphics and postestimation are woven into the material naturally. Real datasets such as the General Social Surveys from 2002 2006 and 2016 are used throughout the book. The focus of the book is especially helpful for those in the behavioral and social sciences because the presentation of basic statistical modeling is supplemented with discussions of effect sizes and standardized coefficients. Various selection criteria such as semipartial correlations are discussed for model selection. Acock also covers a variety of commands available for evaluating reliability and validity of measurements. The revised sixth edition is fully up to date for Stata 17 including updated discussion and images of Stata's interface and modern command syntax. In addition examples include new features such as the table command and collect suite for creating and exporting customized tables as well as the option for creating graphs with transparency.

Magnetics Dielectrics and Wave Propagation with MATLAB Codes

Magnetics Dielectrics and Wave Propagation with MATLAB Codes

Future microwave wireless communication systems computer chip designs and sensor systems will require miniature fabrication processes in the order of nanometers or less as well as the fusion of various material technologies to produce composites consisting of many different materials. This requires distinctly multidisciplinary collaborations implying that specialized approaches will not be able to address future world markets in communication computer and electronic miniaturized products. Anticipating that many students lack specialized simultaneous training in magnetism and magnetics as well as in other material technologies Magnetics Dielectrics and Wave Propagation with MATLABR Codes avoids application-specific descriptions opting for a general point of view of materials per se. Specifically this book develops a general theory to show how a magnetic system of spins is coupled to acoustic motions magnetoelectric systems and superconductors. Phenomenological approaches are connected to atomic-scale formulations that reduce complex calculations to essential forms and address basic interactions at any scale of dimensionalities. With simple and clear coverage of everything from first principles to calculation tools the book revisits fundamentals that govern magnetic acoustic superconducting and magnetoelectric motions at the atomic and macroscopic scales including superlattices. Constitutive equations in Maxwell’s equations are introduced via general free energy expressions which include magnetic parameters as well as acoustic magnetoelectric semiconductor and superconducting parameters derived from first principles. More importantly this book facilitates the derivation of these parameters as the dimensionality of materials is reduced toward the microscopic scale thus introducing new concepts. The deposition of ferrite films at the atomic scale complements the approach toward the understanding of the physics of miniaturized composites. Thus a systematic formalism of deriving the permeability or the magnetoelectric coupling tensors from first principles rather than from an ad hoc approach bridges the gap between microscopic and macroscopic principles as applied to wave propagation and other applications. | Magnetics Dielectrics and Wave Propagation with MATLAB® Codes

Revival: Psychology and the Day's Work (1918) A Study in Application of Psychology to Daily Life

Revival: Psychology and the Day's Work (1918) A Study in Application of Psychology to Daily Life

Psychology considered as the science of human behavior is concerned with man's response to the impressions made upon him by objects people and events. They make up the situations that he meets. Behavior-the individual's way of dealing with these situations-if not a complete failure results finally in some sort of adjustment to the conditions in which one lives; and this adjustment culminates in social and moral habits in habits of work in ways of thinking and acting; in short in habits of life. And through all the adapting process runs the influence of physiological conditions and the effect of their changes caused by the manner of life and the advance of years. The adjustment may be mechanical and rigid insensible to misfits without power to readjust as conditions alter; or again it may be flexible and adaptive-capable of new adjustments as circumstances change. This adjustment represents the capacity of man for achievement. It is his efficiency-the strategy and tactics of life. It is well then from time to time to take an inventory of stock and try to discover the significance of the facts and principles of human behavior which investigation has revealed. Concerning the more common matters of every-day life however psychologists have offered relatively little of interpretative value. Yet these experiences make up the day's work. They determine its quantity and quality. Much has been written about making others efficient but comparatively little about one's own method of thinking working and acting. Yet knowing oneself reaches far into success and failure; and there is no other way of understanding the behavior of others. It is therefore in the hope of interpreting a few of these personal experiences of daily life that this book is written. The topics that could be discussed extend far beyond the limits of a single volume. The choice of course is largely personal but the writer has tried to select types of conduct as well as phases and causes of behavior that are fundamental to thinking and acting whether in the life of social intercourse or in the business and professional world. And after all thinking and acting determine achievement. | Revival: Psychology and the Day's Work (1918) A Study in Application of Psychology to Daily Life
