Was looking for a download, but there's precious little about that on the website. The closest I got were these remarks:
> On all Reed lab computers, Stata is located in the Applications folder.
> Stata can be found in the Applications folder of any school machine. On a PC, it is most likely located in Program Files.
Does that imply it's neither open source nor even commercially available? Seems rather odd, surely it is either of those two
- mb7733 3y agoThat isn't the home page for Stata, that is a page put up by Reed about where to find Stata on their computers. Go to stata.com
- ikjasdlk2234 3y agoStata is fairly ubiquitous in statistical circles, especially those working in econometrics. While I preferred using Stata in academia, it is expensive and R is similar, just not as easy to use.
- Breza 3y agoAgreed. Stata makes common statistical operations easy, and the higher-level licenses are extremely powerful. But I prefer R because it's so much more flexible when trying to perform more complex data manipulations. Plus lots of statistical papers with new techniques include R code.
- Amorymeltzer 3y agoAs noted in other replies, this isn’t the Stata homepage, but rather an academic page about the use of the program. Apologies for the confusion, I chose it because it has images that neatly match what Silver shows.
- gdevenyi 3y agoSata is proprietary.
