Whether you’re a student or a seasoned research professional, we have a package designed to suit your needs:
Stata/MP is the fastest and largest version of Stata. Virtually any current computer can take advantage of the advanced multiprocessing of Stata/MP. This includes the Intel i3, i5, i7, Xeon, and Celeron, and AMD multi-core chips. On dual-core chips, Stata/MP runs 40% faster overall and 72% faster where it matters, on the time-consuming estimation commands. With more than two cores or processors, Stata/MP is even faster. Find out more about Stata/MP. Stata/MP, Stata/SE, and Stata/IC all run on any machine, but Stata/MP runs faster. You can purchase a Stata/MP license for up to the number of cores on your machine (maximum is 64). For example, if your machine has eight cores, you can purchase a Stata/MP license for eight cores, four cores, or two cores. Stata/MP can also analyze more data than any other flavor of Stata. Stata/MP can analyze 10 to 20 billion observations given the current largest computers, and is ready to analyze up to 281 trillion observations once computer hardware catches up. Stata/SE, Stata/IC, and Small Stata differ only in the dataset size that each can analyze. Stata/SE and Stata/MP can fit models with more independent variables than Stata/IC (up to 10,998). Stata/SE can analyze up to 2 billion observations. Stata/IC allows datasets with as many as 2,047 variables and 2 billion observations. Stata/IC can have at most 798 right-hand-side variables in a model. Small Stata is limited to analyzing datasets with a maximum of 99* variables and 1,200* observations. Small Stata can have at most 98 right-hand-side variables in a model. Numerics by Stata can support any of the data sizes listed above in an embedded environment. All the above flavors have the same complete set of features and include PDF documentation. *Number of variables and observations allowed by Small Stata includes any additional variables or observations generated during statistical computations. |
Compare features
Package | Max. no. of variables | Max. no. of right-hand variables | Max. no. of observations | 64-bit version available? | Fastest: designed for parallel processing? | Platforms |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stata/MP | 32,767 | 10,998 | 20 billion* | Yes | Yes | Windows, Mac, or Unix |
Stata/SE | 32,767 | 10,998 | 2.14 billion | Yes | No | Windows, Mac, or Unix |
Stata/IC | 2,047 | 798 | 2.14 billion | Yes | No | Windows, Mac, or Unix |
Small Stata | 99 | 98 | 1,200 | Yes | No | Windows, Mac, or Unix |
*The maximum number of observations is limited by the amount of available RAM on your system. Stata/MP can theoretically analyze up to 281 trillion observations, but current hardware memory limitations don't yet allow that many. |

Fast, accurate, and easy to use
With both a point-and-click interface and a powerful, intuitive command syntax, Stata is fast, accurate, and easy to use.
All analyses can be reproduced and documented for publication and review. Version control ensures statistical programs will continue to produce the same results no matter when you wrote them. See certification results and FDA document compliance for accuracy details.

Complete data-management facilities
Stata's data-management features give you complete control of all types of data.
Publication-quality graphics
Stata makes it easy to generate publication-quality, distinctly styled graphs.
You can write scripts to produce hundreds or thousands of graphs in a reproducible manner and export them to EPS or TIF for publication, to PNG for the web, or to PDF for viewing. With the integrated Graph Editor you click to change anything about your graph or to add titles, notes, lines, arrows, and text.
Extensible
Stata is so programmable that developers and users add new features every day to respond to the growing demands of today's researchers.
Matrix programming with Mata
Mata is a full-blown programming language that compiles what you type into bytecode, optimizes it, and executes it fast.
Though you don't need to program to use Stata, it is comforting to know that a fast and complete matrix programming language is an integral part of Stata. Mata is both an interactive environment for manipulating matrices and a full development environment that can produce compiled and optimized code. It includes special features for processing panel data, performs operations on real or complex matrices, provides complete support for object-oriented programming, and is fully integrated with every aspect of Stata.
Cross-platform compatible
Stata will run on Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix computers; however, our licenses are not platform specific.
That means if you have a Mac laptop and a Windows desktop, you don't need two separate licenses to run Stata. You can install your Stata license on any of the supported platforms. Stata datasets, programs, and other data can be shared across platforms without translation. You can also quickly and easily import datasets from other statistical packages, spreadsheets, and databases.
