Statistics your way

Intuitive

Our command language is so intuitive you will begin to predict what you can type, even for commands you have never run.

Most commands have the same syntax, whether the command fits a model, produces descriptive statistics, or performs a data management task:

. summarize age income
. tabulate age
. logit outcome gender status exp if age>29

. scatter income educ if state=="Texas"
. drop if age <= 29
        
. by gender: tabulate case exposure
. by agegrp: summarize income yrswk

But you are not required to type commands. Stata also has an easy-to-use point-and-click interface providing access to every data management, graphical, and statistical feature in Stata.

Powerful

From summary statistics and linear regression to multilevel models and survival analysis to SEM and IRT to treatment effects and time series, Stata has you covered.

Stata’s data management features give you complete control over all types of data—cross-sectional, time series, longitudinal, survival, multilevel, imputed, survey, and more. Read more.

Stata takes full advantage of today’s multicore computers to give the fastest possible performance. Read more on Stata/MP, or go straight to the white paper.

Stata includes both a scripting language for analysis and a compiled matrix-programming language, Mata, for implementing your own estimators and for large-scale development. Stata is so programmable that developers and users add new features every day to respond to the growing demands of today’s researchers.

Read more about Mata and our general programming features.
