Stata
A general-purpose statistical software package that provides facilities for data analysis, management, and visualization.
Features
Tufts provides an enterprise license for Stata/SE (Standard Edition), which is suitable for the analysis of larger datasets. Stata/SE supports analyses with up to 10,998 independent variables and datasets with up to 32,767 variables and 2.14 billion observations. Stata has a user-friendly graphical interface that easily allows for the following functionality:
- Summary statistics
- Data cleaning and management
- Advanced techniques, such as survival models with frailty, dynamic panel data (DPD) regressions, generalized estimating equations (GEE), multilevel mixed models, models with sample selection, multiple imputations, ARCH, and estimation with complex survey samples
- New approaches, such as machine learning models, Python integration, and Bayesian analysis
- Publication-quality visualizations with easy export to various formats like PDF, EPS, and PNG
- Generate reports that incorporate results and graphs with formatted text and tables in Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF, and HTML formats
