I've made surprisingly good progress learning Stata, and even cracked a big coding problem all by myself. However, I'm now annoyed with it and wishing I'd just had the confidence to learn R like my stats supervisor told me I should. The reason for my annoyance? Stata can't tell me IQR 😮

when my mother in law was dying last year, there was a really remarkably good little book given as part of hospice care, and one of the points it made was that even the last months of life were still a time you could grow, change, and enjoy both old and new things.
