4. Redatam7: Fast operations using the “Frequencies”, the “Ribbon” and “Code using Programs”: Indigenous Nations, Spoken Languages and Gender

In this tutorial, the speaker demonstrates how to perform fast operations with Redatam, a data analysis tool, using a Bolivian census dataset. He starts by showing how to find and analyze information about the distribution of genders, with more women than men in the census. Then, he explores the first language people learned to speak, highlighting the prevalence of Spanish, Aymara, and Quechua. The speaker also mentions the presence of other languages, such as German, Chinese, and Japanese. He expresses his appreciation for the quality of the Bolivian census data and discusses the potential for further analysis, such as housing types. The tutorial concludes with a brief explanation of how to save the data in an Excel format for further exploration.

5. Redatam7: Crosstabs of Indigenous Nations and Gender

In this tutorial, the speaker introduces the concept of cross tabulations, explaining that they can be found in the statistical processor ribbon. He demonstrates how to create a cross tabulation of variables, such as indigenous population and gender, and how to identify those not belonging to any indigenous group. The tutorial provides a program example for generating cross tabulations and exports the results to Excel. The tutorial concludes by highlighting the output files created.

6. Redatam7: Arealist - Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations in Bolivia

In this tutorial, he demonstrates how to represent variables at the district or municipality level using a statistical processor called Arealist, with a focus on working with a single variable and a disclaimer that this method does not apply to crosstabs. He walks through the process, using the example of variable p29c for Bolivia in 2019, illustrating how to split the output at the municipality level and add the municipality names for clarity. He mentions his intention to use this data to create an ethnic map for a Bolivian project, highlighting the need for additional variables for those not identifying as indigenous. He saves the program as “Bolivian Program 5: Bolivian Nations by Municipality” and switches the analysis to variable p29a, including output area names for non-indigenous and non-Bolivian populations. The tutorial concludes with a plan to work with the data in GIS and write a brief article.

7. Redatam7: Adding Filters to Frequency Tables and Crosstables

In this tutorial, he teaches how to add filters to frequency tables and cross-tables in the statistical processor. He starts by demonstrating how to filter a frequency table using the example variable B29C, specifying the filter condition, and displaying the filtered data. Then, he moves on to a cross-table analysis by selecting a relevant variable, adding a filter for females, and creating a cross-tabulation between indigenous nations and job categories. He emphasizes the value of this analysis in understanding the distribution of job categories among indigenous groups, particularly female-owned businesses. He saves the results as “Bolivia 4” and highlights the importance of considering individuals who do not identify as indigenous in the analysis.
