Whether you’re a first-year graduate student or a seasoned research
professional, we have a package designed to suit your needs:
- Stata/MP: The fastest version of Stata (for dual-core and multicore/multiprocessor computers)
- Stata/SE: Stata for large datasets
- Stata/IC: The standard version of Stata
- Small Stata: A smaller, student version of Stata (for educational purchases only)
Stata/MP is the fastest and largest version of
Stata. Most computers purchased since mid 2006 can take advantage of the
advanced multiprocessing of Stata/MP. This includes the Intel CoreTM Duo
and the AMD X2 dual-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.
Stata/SE, Stata/IC, and Small Stata differ in the dataset size
that each can analyze.
Stata/SE and Stata/MP allow datasets with up to 32,767 variables. The number
of observations is limited only by the amount of RAM in your computer. Stata/SE and
Stata/MP allow matrices up to 11,000 x 11,000 on computers with sufficient
memory. An implication of this is that Stata/SE and Stata/MP can fit models
with more independent variables (up to 10,998).
Stata/IC allows datasets with as many as 2,047 variables.
The number of observations is limited only by the amount of RAM in your computer.
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 on
approximately 1,000 observations. Small Stata can have at most 38
right-hand-side variables in a model.
