Status (08 January, 2021)

1. R -- All codes ready. Used for graphs in textbook. Minor edits happening.
2. Stata -- All codes ready. In the lack of machine learning capabilities, no code for chapters 15,16,17, some limitations for chapter 18. Minor edits happening.
3. Python -- Under preparation. Chapters 01-12 ready, chapters 13-24 are under development. Should be ready by early 2021.

Organization

1. Each case study has a separate folder.
2. Within case study folders, codes in different languages are simply stored together.
3. Data should be downloaded and stored in a separate folder.

1. R -- We used R 4.0.2.
2. Stata -- We used version 15, allmost all code should work in version 13 up.
3. Python -- We used Python 3.6.0.
