Statistical Software

Stata is a general-purpose statistical software package created in 1985 by StataCorp. Most of its users work in research, especially in the fields of economics, sociology, political science, biomedicine and epidemiology.

Stata's capabilities include data management, statistical analysis, graphics, simulations, regression, and custom programming. It also has a system to disseminate user-written programs that lets it grow continuously.

There are four major builds of each version of Stata:

• Stata/MP for multiprocessor computers (including dual-core and multicore processors)
• Stata/SE for large databases
• Stata/IC, which is the standard version
• Numerics by Stata, supports any of the data sizes listed above in an embedded environment
