Abstract: The pisatools package contains several commands that facilitate analysis of the data from the OECD PISA study. These commands allow analysis with plausible values and derive standard errors using the BRR method implemented in PISA. The command -pisastats- allows calculating basic statistics like mean, median, percentiles, standard deviation etc. The commands -pisareg-, -pisaqreg- and -pisacmd-allows using several regression and estimation commands. The commands -pisadeco- and -pisaoaxaca- facilitate decomposition analysis with the PISA data. All commands save output files as HTML tables that can be easily opened in spreadsheet programs or internet browsers but also save results in Stata matrices. Type -help pisastats-, -help pisareg-, -help pisacmd-, -help pisaoaxaca- or -help pisadeco- after installing commands for more details. Check also data analysis manuals on the OECD website.
