Abstract: When do leaplings (persons born on February 29) celebrate their birthdays in nonleap years? What is the difference, say, in milliseconds, between two timestamps if leap seconds are counted, based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) standards? What if you want to make sure that the dates are properly stored and ready for fitting a time-series model or performing survival analysis? Dates and times are all too familiar concepts we often take for granted. They lurk under data management and statistical analysis with various degrees of importance depending on the task at hand. In this talk, we will demonstrate how to handle these tasks using Stata's vast collection of date and time functions with highlights of the new functions in Stata 17.
