This document provides an outline for tutorials on using STATA software to conduct probit and logit analysis. It describes datasets used in examples from an econometrics textbook. The tutorials cover opening datasets, running probit and logit models, and conducting a challenge analysis estimating the impact of race on denial rates using a probit model. The website listed provides step-by-step guides and downloads for additional STATA tutorials.
