Abstract

In this article we explain types of data, main principles of testing for normality and descriptive statistics for quantitative data using Stata software. Using real examples, we present step-by-step analysis of data and presentation of descriptive statistics. This article continues a series of publications on basic biostatistics initiated in the previous issue of the journal. This series of papers can be used as a manual for analyzing the data from biomedical studies.
