ABSTRACT
Stata is a general purpose statistics package developed and maintained by StataCorp. There are several forms or “flavors” of Stata, the standard Intercooled Stata, the more limited Small Stata, Stata/SE (Special Edition) which can handle extremely large datasets, and Stata/MP (Multiple Processors) which runs in parallel on up to 32 processors. Each flavor exists for Windows (2000, XP, and later versions), Unix platforms, and the Macintosh. Almost all Stata features discussed in this book are common across platforms.
