Fundamental Series — Part 19 of 20

Analisis yang baik harus bisa direproduksi. Part ini membahas praktik-praktik membuat do-file Stata yang terstruktur dan reproducible.

Struktur Folder Project

my_project/
├── do/                    # Do-files
│   ├── 00_master.do       # Master do-file
│   ├── 01_import.do
│   ├── 02_clean.do
│   └── 03_analisis.do
├── data/
│   ├── raw/               # Data mentah (JANGAN diubah)
│   └── processed/
├── output/
│   ├── figures/
│   ├── tables/
│   └── logs/
└── README.md

Master Do-file

* 00_master.do — jalankan semua dari sini

clear all
set more off
set maxvar 32767

* Definisi path (ubah sekali di sini)
global project "C:/Users/Budi/my_project"
global dodir   "$project/do"
global rawdata "$project/data/raw"
global data    "$project/data/processed"
global output  "$project/output"

* Jalankan do-files berurutan
do "$dodir/01_import.do"
do "$dodir/02_clean.do"
do "$dodir/03_analisis.do"
TipGlobal Macro untuk Path

Definisikan semua path di master do-file sebagai global. Do-file lain tinggal pakai $rawdata, $output, dll.

Template Do-file

* ============================================
* 01_import.do
* Deskripsi: Import data mentah
* Author: Nama
* Date: 2026-02-26
* ============================================

* Import
import delimited using "$rawdata/survey.csv", clear

* Basic checks
describe
codebook, compact
misstable summarize

* Save
save "$data/survey_raw.dta", replace

Log Files

* Di setiap do-file atau master:
log using "$output/logs/01_import.log", replace

* ... kode ...

log close

* Atau otomatis di master:
capture log close
log using "$output/logs/master_`c(current_date)'.log", replace

version — Lock Stata Version

* Di awal do-file — pastikan kompatibel
version 17

* Kode ini akan jalan sama di Stata 17+
* (backward compatible)

set seed — Reproducible Randomness

set seed 42
sample 50     // ambil 50% random sample

set seed 42
sample 50     // hasil sama!

Best Practices

  1. Jangan pakai menu — semua lewat do-file
  2. Master do-file — satu file untuk jalankan semua
  3. Path global — definisikan sekali, pakai di mana saja
  4. Data mentah read-only — simpan hasil di folder terpisah
  5. Log everything — simpan output ke log file
  6. set more off — di awal setiap do-file
  7. Comment — jelaskan KENAPA, bukan APA
  8. Version control — Git (gitignore: .dta, .log)

.gitignore untuk Stata Project

# Data files (biasanya besar)
*.dta
*.csv

# Log files
*.log
*.smcl

# Temporary files
*.tmp

Latihan

BahayaLatihan 19.1 
* 1. Buat struktur folder project:
*    do/, data/raw/, data/processed/, output/logs/
* 2. Buat master.do dengan global paths
* 3. Buat 01_import.do yang:
*    - Pakai global paths
*    - Import sysuse auto
*    - Log output
*    - Save ke data/processed/

Ringkasan

Praktik Tool/Cara
Project structure Folder: do/, data/, output/
Portable paths global macros
Reproducible random set seed
Logging log using
Version lock version 17
Automation Master do-file
Version control Git
