Intro to Datahub for IR Professionals
Join Plaid Analytics (https://plaid.is) for an interactive exploration of DataHub (https://datahubproject.io), an open source metadata platform that supports data governance by allowing you to visualize data lineage between different systems, maintain data and object definitions and descriptions, and manage who has access to this information. In this interactive session, we’ll showcase lineage between a Banner SIS database, data warehouse, and Tableau as well as associated field documentation and help you find ways to translate this work to your own office.

Presentation Slides
This talk will introduce the new customizable tables in Stata 17. You will learn how to easily create cross tabulations, tables of summary statistics, and tables of regression results using the updated -table- command. You will also see how you can create customized tables after you collect results from any Stata command. This means your table can include summary statistics, results of standard hypothesis tests, regression results, and results of tests and fit statistics obtained after model fitting. With the results collected from Stata commands, you will learn how to specify a table layout—what belongs on the rows and columns—and how to customize the look of the table. You can modify labels in headers, numerical format, text alignment, cell shading, border lines, and much more. You will also learn how to export your customized tables to Word, Excel, PDF, LaTeX, HTML, Markdown, SMCL, and plain text.
