We welcome papers from all fields of research that demonstrate advanced and proficient use of Stata. We are particularly interested in papers pertaining to the following themes:

  • Application of machine learning in Stata
  • Development of new techniques in Stata
  • Demonstrations of Stata’s machine learning tools, such as lasso, Bayesian Model Averaging, or h2o.ai
  • Contemporary use of Stata 18 features, e.g., Group Sequential Design, Multi-level meta-analysis, or Wild cluster bootstrap.
  • Novel and innovative applications of Stata, leading to highly reproducible outcomes.
Authors are encouraged to submit their original and high-quality contributions related to the mentioned topics. The conference aims to bring together Stata users from various disciplines and provide a platform for sharing knowledge, insights, and best practices in using Stata for cutting-edge research.
