What is Stata?
Stata, like SAS or SPSS, is a general purpose statistical software package. It is command-based software, available for Windows, Macintosh, and Unix systems. Stata provides a highly flexible interactive mode, which makes it easier for beginners to learn and use. Stata also supports features for programming and matrix manipulation.
Stata provides a broad range of analyses, including:
- Regression models
- ANOVA (analysis of variance)
- Categorical and limited dependent models (e.g., logit and probit)
- Panel data models
- Nonparametric methods
- Multivariate methods
- Cluster analysis
- Survival analysis
- Time series analysis
