Stata program that automates the generation of exploratory data analysis reports. The program classifies variables as categorical/continuous variables and uses this information to define what types of graphs and tables to use.

To install eda use the following command from Stata:

net inst eda, from(http://wbuchanan.github.io/eda)

Since Exploratory Data Analysis can take a substantial amount of time in addition to the time needed to clean/prep data, this is intended to be used as a program that would be called at the end of the workday/overnight to produce permutations of univariate and bivariate visualizations and tables. Then instead of spending time coding myriad possible combinations of variables to examine, a researcher could browse through a PDF generated through LaTeX while the computer does the work of compiling the results for them.

This program requires a few other user-written programs to execute:

tuples spineplot estout

You can find information about these packages using:

ssc d tuples
ssc d spineplot
ssc d estout
