fawaz050: No one NEEDS Stata or Eviews for Research analysis in the professional setting. Between Excel/Python & R, All analytical problems are solved . |

Asour: Excel cannot do some of the things Eviews and STATA Can. Also, For most AcaDemic Researchs, those two will majorly come in handy. But then the world is moving to R and Python. But their application is not fully established in Econometrics (Economics/Business Research) 1 Like |

Asour: Really? Total opposite of what I know. Are you a research analyst? |
Re: What Skills Do I Need To Establish A Career As A Research Analyst? by fawaz050(m): 1:46pm On Feb 14, 2023 |
Asour: Remember Op said Research Analysis not Data Analysis. How do you test your data for stationarity, Normality. Build GMM, ARDL Models (used by NBS for forecast) with R and Python (It's not impossible, but the knowledge is limited on this side of the world). Eviews and STATA are ready-to-use routines in that regard. |

fawaz050: There's no 'this side of the World' any longer in this information age. Information/Knowledge has been democratised for whoever seeks it / wherever it's sought. And yes, R can do/build the models you've described. As a rule of thumb, Most canned tools (Proprietary tools) are more limited in functionality than their open source equivalents. For obvious reasons. |

A001: For a start, you need to be grounded in basic information technology, Economics, basic mathematics, Finance and academic writings. You need to be very good in content writing and editing, proofreading and sometimes translation. As a research analyst and content writer, that's what I do for people. Write Articles, blog posts, scientific journals, explain study notes, write ebooks for people. My area of expertise is Blockckchain Technology, Crypto, Business & startups, Data science and Cyber security. As a research analyst, you need to have an area of expertise you can work or write on. You need to have domain expertise and experience in those fields before you can apply for jobs. It's mostly not about you but what clients or companies want from you. You need to be adaptable to switch your knowledge to their needs. Go to upwork and search for research analyst jobs. You will see employers posting what they require from them. Use that as the basics of your study. If you have more questions, shoot me an email bloomsburypublishing@gmail.com. 1 Like |

Blakpot: I'm not. But a need is an object that can't be done without. E.g. one NEEDS food to live. Whatever can be done in Eviews can be done on R. |

I am a data/research analyst. You need a good grasp of Matlab and R to thrive in this field. Matlab is often used for mathematical modelling and numerical analysis while R is popular for statistical learning and Analysis. R has virtually all the libraries under the sun you can think of for conducting any statistical analysis you can think of because the tool is open source.This merit gives it an edge over other domain specific tools like evews and stata

fawaz050: There's Nothing that Stata can do that can't be replicated in Excel. The problem is that everyone judges excel with its stock functionalities. Excel is a Swiss Army knife for Analytics— one in which you and me can expand the functionalities with near endless possibilities with VBA & other add-ins. See this for example. Charles Zaiontz has written a comprehensive statistics add-ins for Excel . Real-statistics.com But I'll agree with you that Academics have their favourite tool of choice. But that is just a preference. |

Asour: you said Add-in. There are a lot of things Eviews and STATA can do that are not possible on Excel YET. But then, preference comes to the fore. Wooh, you are right. Argument dey quick tire me. Actually, I checked out the add-in, it's well packed. |
Re: What Skills Do I Need To Establish A Career As A Research Analyst? by Asour: 3:41pm On Feb 14, 2023 |
fawaz050: Add-ins are the only way to ensure a tool remains comprehensive in its features. Stata was developed in the 1980s. Are the features today same as it was in the 1980s? No. Because new features have been included (ADDED IN) Add-ins is a feature that makes Excel's capabilities Endless. IT IS A part of Excel. N.B. We aren't necessarily arguing. Hearing the viewpoints of others on platforms like this help challenge our viewpoints with a view to testing merit — and hopefully learning new things. 1 Like |

Learn excel to a very advanced level, after that then progress to power BI after knowing power BI to a mad level then conclude the skill acquisition with R or SaaS... then you are accomplished. If you want to add a demonic touch then add machine learning, and quantum Computing. After these skills are achieved, you can call yourself a metaphysical analyst... nothing go fit pass your power. |
