Coders' Corner
WELCOME TO CODERS' CORNER!
Having trouble with Stata? Looking for useful tips on handling your data, exporting graphs or writing code? Then you've come to the right place.
Our DPhil student coders have created a series of useful tips to try to make your life easier (if you're lucky, they may even branch out into a bit of Matlab or Python).
