Hello:
I have imported a .csv dataset and started a log file within a do file. Is the next step to clean the dataset, i.e. rename variables, turn yes/no to 0/1, rename and relabel, etc? Any tips as to what to do first, or sequence of tasks?
Ralph
Hello Ralph,
It's great to hear that you're making progress on your final project. Even though there's no set (or required) sequence of tasks, your final project will most likely end up including several sections within the .do file (note: you're only turning in the .smcl file like you did for Lab 3):
1. Data clean-up
2. Analysis (chi2, ttest, etc) for Table
3. Figure.
As such, the sequence of lectures during the course follows a similar sequence with data clean-up (Lecture + Lab 3), basic epidemiologic analysis (Lecture + Lab 5), and making tables and figures (Lecture + Lab 6). Hope that helps and please let us know if you need more guidance!
