Stata is a general-purpose statistical software package created in 1985 by StataCorp. Most of its users work inresearch, especially in the fields of economics, sociology, political science, biomedicine andepidemiology.
Stata's capabilities include data management, statistical analysis, graphics, simulations, regression analysis (linear and multiple), and custom programming.
The name Stata is a syllabic abbreviation of the words statistics and data.[1] The correct English pronunciation of Stata"must remain a mystery"; any of "Stay-ta", "Sta-ta" or "Stah-ta" are considered acceptable.
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
- Small Stata, which is a smaller, student version for educational purchase only
