About the Book

This book focuses on the process of preparing raw data for analysis—commonly known as data cleaning. It covers a range of topics including data compilation, variable naming and labeling, data examination, and variable re-coding and transformations, among others. Two example projects and datasets are used to illustrate the methods in the book, and the datasets, script files, and output files in both R and Stata are available to download from the accompanying website.
