Stata is a general purpose software package for statistics, data management, and graphics. Stata offers the flexibility to analyze data using either the programming language or its graphical user interface. Stata is designed to be easily extendable and there are hundreds of free plugins available through various internet repositories. Stata is particularly strong in time series, panel data, and the analysis of complex, non-random samples. Its data must fit into your computer’s main memory, limiting the amount of data it can handle.
