This repository contains the Statistical Reasoning and Quantitative Methods (SRQM) course taught at Sciences Po from 2010 to 2013 by François Briatte and Ivaylo Petev. Joël Gombin, Filip Kostelka and Antonin de Laever are also running their own forks.
The course requires a working copy of Stata. Instructions to set up your computer for the course are provided in the introduction of the course handbook. Additional material is distributed in class through Google Docs.
If you are reading this online on GitHub, please feel free to report issues or ask for enhancements. Feedback on running the course in Stata 13 is particularly welcome.
Students – please check with your instructor as soon as possible if you have any questions or are having difficulties with the course setup, which will be explained extensively in class. Welcome to the course, and talk to you soon!
