Meta-Analysis in Stata: An Updated Collection from the Stata Journal
Jonathan A. C. Sterne (editor)
Copyright: 2009
Stata has some of the best statistical tools available for doing meta-analysis. The unusual thing about those tools is that none of them are part of official Stata, so you will not find them in the Stata documentation. They are all contributed and documented by researchers in the field who also happen to be proficient Stata developers.

Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling Using Stata, 2nd Edition
Sophia Rabe-Hesketh and Anders Skrondal
Copyright: 2008
Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling Using Stata, Second Edition, by Sophia Rabe-Hesketh and Anders Skrondal, looks specifically at Stata's treatment of generalized linear mixed models, also known as multilevel or hierarchical models. These models are "mixed" because they allow fixed and random effects, and they are "generalized" because they are appropriate for continuous Gaussian responses as well as binary, count, and other types of limited dependent variables.

Generalized Linear Models and Extensions, 2nd Edition
James W. Hardin, Joseph M. Hilbe
Copyright 2007
Generalized linear models (GLMs) extend standard linear (Gaussian) regression techniques to models with a non-Gaussian, or even discrete, response. GLM theory is predicated on the exponential family of distributions-a class so rich that it includes the commonly used logit, probit, and Poisson distributions. Although one can fit these models in Stata by using specialized commands (e.g., logit for logit models), fitting them under the GLM paradigm with Stata's glm command offers the advantage of having many models under the same roof. For example, model diagnostics may be calculated and interpreted similarly regardless of the assumed distribution.

An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata
Christopher F. Baum
Copyright: 2006
An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata, by Christopher F. Baum, successfully bridges the gap between learning econometrics and learning how to use Stata. The book presents a contemporary approach to econometrics, emphasizing the role of method-of-moments estimators, hypothesis testing, and specification analysis while providing practical examples showing how the theory is applied to real datasets by using Stata.

J. Scott Long and Jeremy Freese
Copyright: 2006
Regression Models for Categorical Dependent Variables Using Stata, Second Edition, by J. Scott Long and Jeremy Freese, shows how to use Stata to fit and interpret regression models for categorical data. Nearly 50% longer than the previous edition, the second edition covers new topics for fitting and interpreting models included in Stata 9, such as multinomial probit models, the stereotype logistic model, and zero-truncated count models. Many of the interpretation techniques have been updated to include interval and point estimates.
