Whether you’re a 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: Stata for moderate-sized datasets
• Small Stata: A version of Stata that handles small datasets (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 Core^TM 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7, 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 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/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 and 1,200 observations. Small Stata can have at most 99 right-hand-side variables in a model.

All the above flavors have the same complete set of commands and features and include PDF documentation. Printed documentation is optional.
